Limewire is frustrating

[winterface]

This is frustrating, I'm on an OSX machine (Powerbook, OS X 10.3.7) to be precise.

And I have a 2.5 Mbps DSL connection, unfortuantly however it seems to be wasted on limewire, I've gone back through this forum and searched but haven't found anything that would help the problem.

I can connect fine to limewire, in fact I've got the blue "turbo charged" quality bar rating...so thats spiffy.

Unfortuantly when I go to download files..I get 1, 2...MAYBE 6k a second if I'm lucky. I've got Limewire setup up correct I think, I only download from 4-5 star people. I don't know what else could be causing this slow download speeds. I should be getting much higher speeds than what I had when I was on dialup many moons ago.

Please help!
