Did you read the sticky on configuring LW? (located at the Open Discussion forum)

What are you dlding, or, to be more accurate:
-how many hosts do the files that you try to dld have?
-what quality do the files that you try to dld have?

Yes, it can be that. It can also be that, because video files have more complicated data that audio, they don't transfer as fast.
Also, you must have patience: Limewire may not directly connect to the host that has the most bandwidth available. Even if it says "downloading from 4 hosts", it might take a while before it actually connects to all of them. When it does, the speed should pick up.
