I see you are using a Linksys router. I do not know if this is your problem or not but I also have a Linksys and when I am downloading from LW I have found that I have to reset the router by depressing the reset button for 10 sec.

It appears that Linksys routers have a hard time with DL from multiple sources. I can do a Internet speed test prior to DL and my speed will be 6500/351, 800KB/s / 44KB/s after running a while I will notice a drop in speed. I can then do another speed test and it will come back 1500/351, 190KB/s / 44KB/s the only way to get it back to where it should be is to reset my router.

How long it takes for this slowdown to happen depends on how I have set things up, if I am set up to port forward it will happen within a few minutes 10 or so. If the router and limewire are both set to UPnP it will happen on varying intervals sometimes 1/2 hr. or so other times days usually at least 24hrs.

But I do know from my own personal experience that Linksys has this problem at least mine does it is a Linksys BEFSR41 V3

As far as connection to your computer that have appeared after you installed LW I have no idea of what that is it is possible that if you did not get LW from the official site it could be a altered version of it and contain spyware.

I have never heard of the app you are using to detect these connections if you could leave a link to it here I would like to check it out and run it so I could investigate this further. LW has been checked by eTrust and they said it is spyware free. http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/p...x?id=453088059
