One Download at a time? Do I have to pay now?

[uzican]

So limewire's been my best friend for a long time, because I don't really download music that much, but when I do need that one song, it's easy to find, takes three seconds to download, and I could download up to four or five files at a time.

Now, for some reason, I am limited to only one download at a time. I blamed my internet, but that's clearly not the issue since I'm at my friend's house right now, and his internet connection kicks ***.

No matter how small the file is, or whether or not it's seeding from 500 people, if I try to download another file, the kb/s drops steadily as the other file's rises, until they've traded places. It still says it's connected, but it doesn't download. If I kill download number #2 while download #1's kb/s is dropping, it goes back up again.

So why am I only allowed one at a time now? Even as a non-paying member, that's not really a lot to be offered.

Sup?
