There are several possibilities:

• You may have accidentally dragged the speed throttle down.
  It's the little arrow pointer below the speed graph in the top right corner.
  
  
• You may have set an Advanced Limit in Setup/Connection and forgot about it.
  
  
• You're trying to download a fake. Hit the plus sign beside the filename and
  look at the list of sources. Right-click on the column headers and enable the
  GUID, Host and Version columns. Fake farms usually are large collections of
  LimeWire servents, and some of those guys are so lazy they use the same
  GUID for all of them. Don't forget to always check any large downloads with
  Bitzi before you start the download.
  
  
• Your cable company may be choking off the speeds on purpose. Cable
  companies are uniformly notorious in contempt of their customers.
  
  
• The "secret" remote control on download speeds may be in effect today.
  BearFlix is a crippled version of the original BearShare anyway.
