Do a speed test here (scroll down to find your country if you're not in the US)

Have you set up your LW for best performance?
Configuring LW for best performance

What are your details?

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

Download a file from here & see what speed you get

win xp pro
amd 4000+ 2 gigs of ram
i have the latest limewire basic
source cable hamilton ontario 10 mg from my house
and i am the only computer
no firewall at all
and ive tried all of those things lots of times

maybe my isp has that **** filtered too?

Sounds like Source Cable are using Sandvine (a system to control filesharing)

Did you try downloading a magnet link? What speed did you get?

You might want to give your ISP a call & find out what's going on.

well it started off at like 70 but then dropped way down to like 2

Well that's not looking good for your ISP! I'd say that's your problem. You might have to give them a call & rattle their cage:(
