Of course you don't usually get those speeds on limewire, but 5, simultaneous, 30 KiloByte downloads isn't uncommon (56 minutes for that 120 MB).

Here with 512/128 Kbps ADSL seldom do I reach 40 KB/s in one download... The maximum speed is 60 KB/s (512 Kbps / 8b = 64 KB/s), not 150 KBps (the speed is in bits per second, not Bytes!).
Also 128 Kbps for the uplink is very low, this is a maximum of 16 KB/s. It's better a cable with symmetric channels
