What's wrong with limewire?

My download speed has slowed to a grinding crawl. It use to download at approximately 1,500Kbs/sec but now it's not even making it to 10Kbs/sec. What should I do to fix it?

    Do you understand how file sharing works? http://webdingers.com/wordpress/2009/07/torrents/

    The people you're downloading from have low upload speeds, or there are too many downloaders (peers) and not enough uploaders (seeders). That,s how file sharing works - there's nothing you can do about it. (You do have the correct port forwarded to the correct IP address, don't you?)

    You will be asking on here soon how to get rig of Viruses and that you have not got a clue how they came to get on you Pc, Limewire is dangerous because it is not controlled, anybody can load what ever they want on to it, unlike some torrent sites which are monitored, so if you want to download illegal music etc don't do it with Limewire.

    Change to Frostwire, it's free, and is like Limewire Turbo.

    Everything is wrong with LimeWire. It's dangerous - if you don't want viruses, keyloggers and hackers, avoid it. LimeWire's bad news.
