No % and No time remaining

[ldcubed]

Hi, I just installed limewire 4.8, and I'm trying to download episodes from the anime show, "Fullmetal Alchemist." Unfortunately, no matter what I do, I can't seem to get it to work.
I got a free trial of dsl for 30 days so that it would work under Cable/DSL and I reconfigured my firewall per the instructions, but more problems seem to arise.

Now every time I try downloading an episode, whether under dsl or modem, the time remaining goes all honky wonky (it never arrives at a solid number), and the % doesn't do anything; it just stays at 0%. It does say that it's downloading from a host, and the kb speed does what it usually does, but I'm still extremely confused.

If anyone knows what the problem is, or might be, please don't hesitate to tell me. Any help would be most appreciated. I'm dying to get my hands, er...eyes, on that anime and I'll do whatever it takes to get it.

EDIT: The problem is NOT that it's not working. The problem is that it's just REALLY REALLY slow. It seems to say that it'll take somewhere between 13 and 20 hours for one frigg'n episode. Any way to speed this up????

EDIT #2: Ooookay, now it says that it's downloading at 0 kb/sec and the timer has completely disappeared. A very messed up world this is.
