Ruz,
Do you have the correct ports open in your firewall? If not, the downloads from bitTorrent will be slow... but once you open the ports, it will start climbing up in speed...
Also, if you see slow download speeds, give it 10 or 15 minutes.. sometimes, the system is working around the leechers... that sucks.
I used LimeWire for some time, but didn't like all the legal decisions the company was taking to save its ass and fuck its users... so, I ditched it. The only thing I do now with LimeWire is distribute the Pro version on the bitTorrent network.[align=center][/align]

Assuming your IP is private when you connect to any p2p network is foolish. They all work the same way, by providing direct connections between clients. So anyone you download from is going to have your IP address.
BitTorrent, unlike other P2P services has no central server making it far safer. There is nothing to login to and nothing to signup for, therefore no central "log" that can be subpoenaed. The individual BitTorrent clients create a network between themselves and each downloader takes responsibility for the file's delivery. It's pretty genius actually.
If your downloads are never starting it means there aren't any seeders (uploaders) for that file or they can't reach your computer because you're behind a router or some kind of internet connection sharing. In the latter case you just have to forward the appropriate ports to the computer you're running BT on.
People logging into old-school Napster-like services are one subpoena away from a MPAA lawsuitIt's happened so many times already.

I feel sorry for bit torrent newbs that cant figure out how to get it to work, seriously man that really sucks for you, try the website portforward.com, or try downloading a torrent that actually has seeders.
