Default Poor xfer compared to other software

Hi there, fairly new to Limewire was using 360 Share Pro previously. Using the same ISP(s), I can only get a max xfer rate of around 60Kbps using LW even with 10+ sources. 360 Share Pro maxed out at about 280Kbps. Xfer rate is the same at home, at school, and at work (different ISPs). Whats up with LW? I cant buy that its my ISP since 360 performed up to speed.

Im running XP Media Center and have taken everything out of the equation except for Limewire.

Once again, I can connect and share just fine. I am just extremely dissapointed in performance. Does ANYONE get xfer rates above 70Kbps or is it a limitation placed by LW?

EDIT:
Now appears to have become faster for no reason. Actually getting 130Kbps xfers now. First time in 20+ downloads to see xfer above 60Kbps...just bad luck? Seems unlikely....
