Your download speed will depend on many things - how many hosts you're downloading from, their upload speed, how many upload slots they have to share that bandwidth, your own download speed, how many files you're downloading at once, whether your ISP is throttling downloads etc etc.

Have a look at this thread (mainly the first few posts by Murasame) & see whether any of the tips help: A few things to consider while configuring Limewire for optimal performance...

Hello,
I'm running Limewire Pro on an IBOOK G4. And here is my problem: One thing I'm downloading is at 97%. And the download speed switched to 0. How do I increase it?

I have a similar problem. I have a fast computer and a cable modem. My connection is fast. But when I set my download speed at maximum it says that the maximum download speed is only 44kb/s. In reality, it should be up to 200kb/s or maybe even 300kb/s. I have reached these speeds on all other Limewires but not the latest 4.18.8 Pro. What is the problem? I am downloading from T3 connections, T1 connections etc. and the max speed is still around 40kb/s. What's the deal?
