Yes...I've noticed something similar. I have a fairly high-speed DSL conenction. Downloading files from links on the internet usually gives me 100-300 Kb/sec. But when I try to download any of the hundreds of search hits I get on limewire...the connection speed usually bounces between 0 Kb/sec and 5 Kb/sec. I've seen exactly ONE file go faster than that...clocking in at an impressive 38 Kb/sec! Does anyone have any idea why these files just go so slow in general?
