Firewall Help Needed (slow torrent download)

[bme2103]

Hi, I've never had severe downloading problems with Limewire. I can download songs very quickly but now that I'm downloading a file that is 3gb I am at a loss. I think that its because the file is a torrent and I usually never download that type of files. My current download speed is around 10-40 kb/s and at this rate going to take a few days to download.
