Connecting as a leaf's fine
LW chooses it's ultrapeers, you can't force yourself to be one. To be an u/p you must not be firewalled, have a reasonably fast connection & high uptime. You'll also need to make sure that 'disable ultrapeer capabilities' is not ticked (tools > options > speed).

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
12. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
13. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

But I just got a problem,
I have an ADSL Connection, using Linksys (WAG54GS)
The speed is 512Kb/sec,
The problem is:
I have this fast connection, yet when I download using lime wire,
it only downloads at 1Kb/sec & most of the time at less speed!!
I just deleted my properties, so that's not it,
& the download is set to unlimited.

Please Help
