To fix a slow Limewire connection you need to uninstall the Limewire software and redownload the new version of Limewire.
Honest recommendation: if you have dialup, unless it's on a separate phone line - don't try to download anything...it will take forever!! If you want to do any downloading, upgrade your connection to a DSL or Cable; that is the only way to speed it up.
Make sure that you internet connection is constant and a reasonable speed. If it's a slower connection make sure there are not other devices downloading on the same network that may slow down the connection.
Because your computer in downloading the info into your browser and etc. It may also be your connection. So make sure your connection is up to the speed it is suppose to be at. If it is, then you may have a slow connection to youtube.

Leachers don't upload the file as they are downloading it. If their connection is slow uploads probably slow it further. Peers seed the torrent whilst they are downloading.

Usually, if you're downloading a file, the download server is limiting the download speed, and not your internet connection (though this might be different if your connection is slow) The download manager splits the file into multiple segments, and downloads the segments from different servers, so that every segment has it's own download speed for a total download speed that is far higher.
Download speed depends on a few things, primarily how you are connected to the internet. A connection through an Ethernet cable is typically faster than a wireless connection. It can also have to do with how fast your hard drive can write data, but there probably isn't much you can do about that. Also, having many programs running while you are downloading or things in the background like antivirus scans tend to slow it down as well. With Steam specifically, sometimes the servers get "overloaded" to some extent, meaning if say, many people are on steam, getting on to steam, or downloading the game you are downloading at the same time you are, then that will slow down the download speed.
limewire has 2 speeds, SLOW AND STOP!!
After I update windows my browsing connection is slow even if my internet speed is fast with other PC connected.
