This is a problem I've had with other gnutella clients. Every so often, I go to my connections panel and I find I have both an outgoing and an incoming connection to my own IP address.

There's no point in keeping these open. They are just taking up slots in my connection list, potentially keeping me from seeing more of the network.

It seems like it would be trivial to filter your own ip address out of the discovered hosts.

Somtimes, LImeWire will try to download from myself. I search for a song, try downloading, and it fails. Then I look in my uploads section, and there are failed uploads- from my address!! I am hoping this will be fixed soon...
