Curiouser and curiouser... Just my 2¢ here. I don't get the problem. I use Limewire all the time and have very, very few problems. Especially compared to other networking situations. I've downloaded some pretty obsure things from single sources and not had to wait more than a few minutes. Oh, and I will only run Limewire on my Mac. I have absolutely no doubts that using it on my PC would be a complete disaster since it hangs & crashes constantly no matter what I try! Networks can be frustrating on occasion, but that's just the nature of the beast.
