OK, I think I was successfull in my attempt to "port forward". I was using azureus and I saw that my DL speed was blazing past 400+kbs.
So I was trying to Dl something on limewire and while the little bar meter in the lower left hand corner says"extremely strong connection" I'm stuck at 0.00kbs. (I had it flowing at 100kbs, then I paused it; after resuming is when it seemed to stop, all while all blue bars in the corner saying "extremely strong connection") what am I doing wrong?!

download speeds depend on the hosts your downloading from. if they disconnect or you pause, your download connection has to re-start. i learned not to be too greedy. if you got a good dl speed, stick it out.

so the promise of "faster downloads than ever"....."better search results"(**** loads of searches,most of them fake)........"turdo- charged download speeds" thats advertised is just a load of bollocks to get you to part with your money....
