Default limewire/direcway

Everything was working fine until recently. I've had no trouble downloading at very decent speeds. Then about 2 weeks ago, that all came to an end. I understand that (at that time) DirecWay made drastic changes to their system, blocking certain connections. I was without email for days because of it. And as many of you probably know, DirecWay isn't known for their good customer service.
My problem is, I cannot download using LimeWire anymore. Well, that's not entirely true... I can download, but only at 1KB speeds. It goes between 0 and 1, usually. If I'm lucky, I get a whopping 2 or 3. What took 1-2 minutes to download, now takes me an hour or so.
I have all the exceptions set in my firewall. That was always done.
I can download mp3's from the internet NOT using a p2p program, such as LimeWire. But when using a p2p, it only goes at 1KB.
We've checked everything we know how to. Reset things a zillion times. Does anyone have any ideas here?
We have the DW6000. We also installed their stupid LAN client, as they suggested. We don't use a LAN line to connect. Nothing works to fix the problem with LimeWire and I'm frustrated beyond belief.
Please don't suggest I unplug the modem... I've heard that about a gillion times recently and is irrelevant to my problem
Thanks.
