Question What shall I do?

Im having problems with limewire on my mac. I have been using limewire for a while but recently my connection has been really bad and it will only go up to one bar. I downloaded the newest version but when opening it will bounce in the dock and then stop. I tried downloading the java update the BSD package but when opening this it says disc image failed to mount. What shall I do now?

BTW
1. what OS version? (eg: Windows 98, XP,OSX, Vista) Mac OSX panther 3.8.2
2. What firewalls you have ?not sure sorry
3. How much ram ?256
4. Hard Disk space available ? about 14GB
5. Connection type (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ?Dial up
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers ?Built in
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.) ? [COLOR=royalblue******[/COLOR]
[COLOR=royalblue******[/color]8. What version,LimeWire & Java,Go to L/W's Help/About L/W, THIS show both LW & Java version.? [/color] Two versions the latest one and an older one
[COLOR=royalblue******[/color]9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ? BT
10. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ?
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.-
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.? I've used limewire for about a year
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ?-
14. Have you given full permisions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ? Yes I think so
15. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.? -

I think the BSD package can be found as an extra on the installation disk. Though I might be wrong.
BT do limit p2p use to some extent but never heard of this for dial up users.
OSX firewall: OSX Firewall settings for Tiger

Try these things:

* Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!

* Delete your LW prefs whilst LW is closed; preferences folder is found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

* with dial up, it's sometimes best to wait some time to wait for it to connect. Even up to an hour. In fact, I'd recommend not connecting until LW has loaded properly. Do this: Go to LW's prefs (,) then Connections & disable option. Then when opening LW, let it settle for 15 mins then go to menu bar, File menu & choose connect. Give it plenty of time to try to connect. Up to an hour.
