Why does it take so long to download movies if there is a way to speed it up can someone please tell me?

Well movies are very large files, usually 700 MB or more. Where a song is only 3-6 MB. The speed at which a file downloads depends on several things like the speed of your connection. The speed of the people your d/ling from. The quality of the connection. How you have LW configured. weather your isp filters p2p ect.

One thing if you only d/l one file at a time that one file should d/l faster than if you have ten files waiting.
Here's a link with tips on how to configure LW: A few things to consider while configuring Limewire for optimal performance

Another link here: Skills to continue downlds, Downld speeds, Searching, optimal performance
