Default Slow downloads on broadband

Hi,

For a while now i've had problems with download speeds on limewire, getting no more than 8kb/s on any downloads. I had a 567Kb connection until yesterday when it was upgraded to a 2Mb connection, so i thought that might make my downloads faster but it didn't

I have windows XP home edition
the windows firewall is enabled
896MB of RAM
16.2GB of space available on my hard disk
2MB broadband connection
a netgear router (don't know model)
I am connecting from a home computer which has a network of 3 computers which all use limewire
Limewire version = 4.9.30
Java version = 1.5.0_04
My ISP provider is a local company called Manx Telecom
The 'http://www3.limewire.com:6346/' test works fine for me
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showt...3757#post103757 says 'True'
And on a speed test i have got 1.6 megabits per second

I hope somebody can help me
