Default Limewire takes an unusually long amount of time to connect.

Okay, first I'd like to say I love Limewire. It has always worked for me for a very long time now. Suddenly though, I've been having problems.

Now my problem is not that Limewire doesn't connect (even though I thought it was at first). The problem that is that I seem to have to wait an unusually long amount of time, like up to 20 minutes, before it has connected.

It never took that length of time before to connect. It usually only took like 3 to 5 minutes to connect when I first used it. I'm not sure what the problem is.

I tried all the troubleshooting tips I looked in the sticky topic. Mainly uninstalling and reinstalling LimeWire, disabling the Tip box and auto-connect features replacing the Gnutella.net file, and fixing up my firewall.

I'm running Windows XP Service Pack 3 by the way. I'm not sure if this is normal or if the network is having some problems, but Ijust don't know.
It has nothing to do with my internet connection I know however.

So, what's wrong here?
