Default rubbish

I haven't used many file sharing programs, my roomate recommended limewire, and I have to say, that after a couple of days of using it, I'm pretty frustrated myself. I can't speak for the previous poster, but my problems have to do with the 1) "can't move to library" message, as well as 2) the inane slowness of the downloads. I am on an iBook/osX with a cable connection and I'm having download speeds of as low as .8k/s and I think the fastest I've seen is around 3-5k/s. I'm sorry, but that sucks and makes me feel like I'm back in the eighties waiting for a web page to load.
Other problems/complaints include: the overall slowness of Limewire, meaning even operations that have nothing to do with downloading take a lot longer to execute than anything else in any other program I use, and 2) I have only been able to get a connection and download only a fraction of the songs I try. So out of 20 songs I try to get, I only get about 4-5 of those songs (If I'm lucky).

As a new user, I'm not impressed. I've been reading many of the help threads, and so far, have not received any useful information on how to solve my problems. Any suggestions?
