I had the same problem when I first updated it, it's alright now though maybe just give it a while.

Lime wire is Marked by the big ISPs.. who are cracking down on it big time.. so if you use it.. be ready to see a letter come from you ISP.. then.. your internet slowed down.. and if you carry on.. death.

You may not be able to connect or use lime wire because of firewall security.... Try adding it to the list of exceptions in your firewall settings.
Take care as you would with any file sharing application, that you set permissions only to the files or folders that you wish to share.Furthermore it is a good policy to scan for virus, any files that you recieve through the limewire program.
