I've had LimeWire for some time, downloading updates for it on a regular basis. Recently, however, every time I use LimeWire, it connects to the network just fine with five green bars and with many results for most searches. However, even if a result has 100+ hosts, it says "Connecting..." for about 5 minutes, then says 'Need More Sources". I've tried uninstalling and even making sure that LimeWire isn't leaving behind any registry values for a clean install. But nothing seems to be fixing my problem. Does anybody know what's wrong?

OS: XP Home SP2
Make: Compaq
Model: Presario 2200 Laptop
Processor: Celeron M 1.4GHz
RAM: 512 MB
Connection: Wireless High Speed DSL (100kbps avg. in Firefox)
Router: Yes (Netgear Wireless)
Firewall: ZoneAlarm Basic
Browser: Mozilla Firefox 1.5
LimeWire Version: Was 4.12.6, just tried 4.13 beta - Same problem in both

It's not Limewire, it's those rotten fake files that seem to be getting worse and worse...
