any tips for torrents

[wizardaj83]

Hi all, I am running limewire 4.14.8, my OS is XP sp2, and i have cable internet through insight communications. I used to download torrents using bitcomet but started using limewire now that it has the new torrent features. I have been having problems with the download speeds once limewire locates the sources for the torrent, usually i wont use a torrent unless it has at least 50 seeders, and limewire has no problem locating a decent ammount of sources but the download speed is still extremely slow...rarely makes it over 5kb/s. does anyone have any tips or tweaks i can use to increase the download speed?
