Your download speed depends on several things. First your download capability and then that of your host. If you have a high speed connection but are downloading from a modem you will be limited to your hosts upload speed.

Assuming you have high speed capability you can improve your download speed if you can connect to multiple hosts. Often you can help the odds of this by searching on the filename you are downloading or refreshing your original search. Limewire sometimes locates additional hosts when you search again.
