Just a technical note.. it's not possible to get speeds that high on dial-up. A 56 Kbps modem will at most synch at (surprisingly) 56 kilobits per second. As Limewire to my knowledge measures transfer rates in bytes and not bits, that translates to a maximum possible speed of 7KB/s. Note that that's the theoretical maximum speed and you won't ever actually get that. 45 kB would have to be a faulty read. Either that or some funky caching thing.
