2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?

9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?

11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

The wall in front of the globe comes and goes and also struggle to connect

With the brick wall coming and disappearing I'd suggest that your router has a problem with the UPnP function.
To solve this you'll have to portforwarding in your router. Read here through the instruction on how to do this:

hey all ive bin searching this forum for sm1 with a problem as unique as mine.
i use limewire and frostwire both. The problem is that my downloads with limewire never exceed 2kBps as i hav Dsl 256 kbps this is extremely slow,even when the limewire is connected with excellent connection and is downloading from more than 4 hosts it still works at 2 kBps.Now for the freaky part my downloads with frost work at the proper speed like 30 kBps
i would love ne suggestions
thanx

You could try to delete the LW preference folder; that might have an effect...
Read here on how to delete this folder (Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire)

Afterwards reboot your computer.
