You don't need more then 2 leaf2Hub connections for optimal connection. Having anything more will not at all affect your search results or download speeds positively.

And if you're having connection and internet problems, try stepping down your settings to no more than 8 peer2peer ones and 400 Hub2leaf ones. This should solve your problem. Probably your router is not capable of maintaining that much simultaneous connections (probably it's the many UDP packets that do kill it and cause the connection losses).

This was my thought when I saw this topic yesterday/day before. Sounded potentially like too many connections for the router to handle. Some routers handle large numbers of connections better than others. Also, Wireless connection devices tend to struggle the most with very high numbers of connections. For a start, wireless connected devices have a tendency to be inconsistent when they are pushed with heavier needs. Just my 2 cents worth.

Thanks, that solved my problem of me having no connection when running Shareaza. Unfortunately, still most of my downloads display pending.
Strangely enough, those downloads that are without sources, instead of pending its says "On queue".
From time to time I get some download bits, but they're rare. Do I have to set up something for that?
Thanks, but I'm on a ADSL not Wi-fi. (I do have it though).

OK... So about how many downloads are we speaking? And do they have sources within the G2 network (blue icons)?

(To see all sources, have a look at the source filter in the lower right corner. In case you can't see it, you will have to switch to power mode within the view menu.)

Many, over 90.
Typically my downloads have 40 -100 sources, maybe more. What's weird is that I'm always uploading (At good speed). Just I don't get it why my downloads are always on pending and rarely downloads something.
Just to point out, I used to have that problem with Emule until I switched to Ares, but then I deleted it and started over with Shareaza.

...or do they have only sources within the eD2k network?

Excuse my ignorance, but how do I check that?
