I'd say your problem is with BT as they are known to shape p2p bandwidth...

bloody thing isnt working...ill work on it tomorrow more...thanks though

Don't give up tomorrows another day..

When you Port Forwarded did you enter the same number (just the one number) into all the boxes you where instructed to ?? It has to be the same number for the TCP and the UDP..
Also did you enter that same number into the maunual port forward and the listen port boxes and select apply within Limewire ??
