Default Extremely Slow Downloads

Hi, I just downloaded Limewire Pro after switching my broadband ISP to 'BT Option 3' and I'm getting max speeds of 15KB/s. It's extremely frustrating because i used to get speeds of 160KB/s + whilst with Orange broadband. Although I did get 22KB/s when downloading a video clip from magnetmix.com.

My specs-

1. OS version? Windows XP SP2

2. What firewalls you have? McAffee

3. How much ram? 512MB

4. Hard Disk space available? 100GB

5. Connection type? BT Option 3 Broadband 8MB

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? BT Home Hub

7. Where are you trying to connect from? Home network

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.12.11 Pro

9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?BT

10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: 'Your test worked!'. It worked

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? NO

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.Benn using limewire for ages, recent problem

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? YES

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled, I'm not port forwarding as far as i know

Any and all help appreciated.
