Default Strong Connection, Can't Download

OK, I'm not sure whats wrong or what to do. I can search just fine, but my downloads almost never start, and when they do i get about 1-3 kb/s if i'm lucky, it usually doesn't get past connecting. My connections to the network never last ver long, no more then 10 minutes, but i never stay disconnected for long, so limewire usually tells me I have a very strong connection. Please help, here's my info

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
XP Home
2. What firewalls you have?
None that I know of, just the windows firewall.
3. How much ram?
1Gig
4. Hard Disk space available?
19.5 Gigs
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
Ambit Cable Modem 60678eu, no router
7. Where are you trying to connect from
Military Barracks
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have?
LW 4.12.6, Java 1.5.0_02
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?
Charter Cable
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
My Test Worked!
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
Not that I know of
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
1st Try with LW
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
No

Not sure if it matters, but I also have a wireless card in my computer, i'm not using.
