Abort, abort & more abort

Been using soulseek for years with no issues and have been using latest ns version with no issues. a few days ago out of nowhere I started to be unable to d/l pretty much anything, receiving constant aborts and as far as I know nothing has changed as far as computer settings, etc. i did some trouble shooting to no avail so i moved over to the qt version and now i am able to d/l but its still really spotty, maybe 2 out of 10 are working. has anyone else experienced this over the last few days & if so, have you found a fix. i don't think it has anything to do with my router/firewall, anti-virus as like I said, before a few days ago, things were running perfect like it has for many years...never encountered this problem before. the aborts are coming from files that are currently available too. i appreciate any help in advance, thanks
