I just got Wild Blue sattelite internet and every time I try to download something, no matter what speed it is, It will only download at a max of 2kb/s. But if I download anything not on limewire it will download at about 500kb/s. can someone please help me?

I just googled and I cannot find any info about WildBlue firewalls or security...There is something definatley in there setup, so it may be best to contact them and ask them about their policy regarding p2p and also about their firewall and if there is any way to Port Forward...
