As I said, has something to do with faked files hosted by groups or people trying to discourage P2P users from downloading copyright protected files.
Take my advice above and be persistent, searching at different times of the day or night and choosing files with a small number of hosts.
Always double check the search results using Bitzi :

Well, then what has changed on your computer since then? Did you have any new programs installed? Any driver updates, any system crashes?

One thing you could try is to delete the LW preference folder as descibed in Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire
