From your posted results I do not think that the programs are using up all of your bandwidth your results were 244kb/s upload which converts to 244kb/s / 8 = 30.5KB/s above you said you are uploading around 40KB/s you should set your upload bandwidth to around 25KB/s according to your test results.

What is happening is you are creating a bottle neck. LimeWire needs some UL bandwidth to communicate with the host you are DL from and you also need some to cruse the net. If you are using all of your available upload bandwidth to upload to other people then it will slow your connection down.

244kb/s = kilobits 8kb/s = 1KB/s kilobytes which is what LimeWire measures bandwidth in.
