Choose nearest location for a speed test & only have your browser open: http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/speedtest/
Do NOT have LW open whilst you do this test.

I've heard of problems of connecting or with speeds in Lebanon before. You're using a dial up connection right? Or at least a very slow speed plan?

You need to be more specific about your modem & or router brand & models.

BTW if the speed test gives you the speed in kbps (kilo bits per second) then you need to divide that figure by 8 to give you KB/s (KiloBytes per second)

I entered the link you gave me but it says "none known. please tell us if you can find one" when I enter lebanon.
No, I'm not using a dial-up connection. I'm using cable, but yes my connection speed is very slow.
Full explanation of my connection: I use LAN or high-speed connection. description: local area connection: Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC.
When I want to connect, I use another Icon named "cable"(Broadband) and it says that its connecting through WAN miniport PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
The computer always says that an ip adress is conflicting with another network on the system.
This is something strange:: it says the speed of the cable is 100.0 Mbps, but the connection is slow and the downloads (not the ones with limewire) are between 11 and 13 kb/s
the cable is not on satellite but wire
the isp is Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Try an experiment, downld a magnet link from here & tell us all the details of what happens, variation in speeds, etc. http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

First of all, it doesn't show the size of the file. The file doesn't download and it says : waiting for stable connections. When i opened LW this time, the download speed was only one bar (but i was connected)
Sometimes when the download finally starts, but the speed is so slow, it's between 1 and 3 kb/s.
Files i download without using limewire have a speed that starts with about
~300 but then go down too quickly to arrive to a speed between 11 and 13or 14 kb/s and it stays stable.

Every time I click refresh the speed changes
It was first 50kbytes per second(6.1 kb/sec)
then ~80kbytes per second( ~10 kb/sec)
then 92kbytes per second( 11.3 kb/sec).... and it keeps changing (sometimes lower, but most of the higher)

Did you have Limewire open at the time? Best not to for accurate results. I wonder if it's due to inconsistent line between you & the ISP, etc.
Your inconsistent speeds is a part of your normal use of the internet which is odd. I'm thinking this is either an isp or line problem.

BTW the initial figures you gave should be kbits/s not kbytes. The 2nd figure in brackets is KBytes.
