Did you enable "Locale Preferencing" for connections? And set it to a too high threshold in the "Advanced" options?

This new feature will not work appropriately (for now) with other locales than English, French and German, due to an insufficient installed base of users showing this locale.

Things will go better once 4.0 will be released and more largely deployed. But for now, if you have difficulties to connect with Locale Preferencing and your locale is Dutch/Nederlands, disable this option, or set it to a lower number of connections.

Locale preferencing works great for French with 2 connections set with preferencing, but for other locales it may be useful to set this threshold to a lower value.

This feature works by looking for LimeWire agents that share the same locale as you (using a "X-Locale: lc" connection header where lc is the language code.

Don't set this value too high, notably if you're running in Leaf mode; may be this option will be off by default in 4.0 for other locales than English (en) and French (fr), and may be German (de) or Spanish (es). The Locale indicator is already sent by all 3.9.x versions, even if they disable connection preferencing. This will allow setting workable thresholds later. For now it's best to be careful and not use this feature too high.
