download speed
 

I have an ADSL connection(512Kb/128Kb) but the speed for downloading with limewire is terribly low (most of time between 1,5 and 4 Kb/s sometimes less).

To share the ADSL connection I have a netgear gateway (DG814) for a quite old MAC Powerbook G3 - 292Mhz (with MAC OS X) and a PC 1800 Mhz (with WINDOW 98).

Thanks in advance for help.

Remember you can only download as fast as someone can upload to you. If you connect to a dial up host you will be limited to the slower speed. That might account for part of your problem. Net congestion and routing errors take a toll also.
