Default Slow download speeds

I have been using LW and can only get download speeds from 1KB/s-20KB/s max. I have home network setup using 2 routers, a linksys WTR54G wireless as my gateway and D-link to which my computer is hooked up with LW. I have set up port forwarding on the D-link but no change. I also can't seem to get the brickwall from my globe, the only firewall I have on is the one on my linksys. I called Bellsouth and they say that they do not filter P2P.

1. OS version? XP
2. What firewalls you have? Linksys router firewall
3. How much ram? 512
4. Hard Disk space available? 30G
5. Connection type? DSL 6.0
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Linksys WTG54G and D-Link DI 604
7. Where are you trying to connect from? home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? LW 4.12.6 and Java 1.5
9. Who is your ISP provider? Bellsouth
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: What happens when you go there? The test worked.
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Yes have a wireless desktop along with my wired desktop.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Not new but speed has always been slow
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of L. Yes brickwall is present.

Hope someone can help me figure out why i am getting such slow speed have also followed the setting to optimize LW nothing seems to work.
