I've done some investigating. When it comes to downloading torrents, keep inmind the number of 'Seeds' and 'Peers'.
The 'health' of the torrent shouldn't be the deciding factor when it comes to the speed of the download. What you
should be concerned about is, the average 'upload' speed of those 'clients'. Unlike the insane bandwidth that most
enjoy in Europe, here in North America, the average 'upload' speed which is your download speed, is 834 kbps.
And, the majority of the customer's of ISP's are infact 'capped' at a certain limit when it comes to bandwidth.
Take me for instance. I'm capped at 60 gig's a month. So I have to be careful what and how many torrents I can
get. Plus, your ISP monitor's everyone's traffic in a way that if they detect an above average load on the 'node',
they can trace which user is doing it and 'throttle' that connection to avoid any unessessary inconvienence to the
rest of their customer's. I'm not saying this is what could be happening to you SD but, there are ways to get
around this. I discovered that both the torrent program, and the torrent itself, can be set to limit the 'upload' to a
specific limit as to not take up to much of the bandwidth and allow more downloading instead of uploading.
Go into your P2P client, go to the settings and look for the default numbers for both Downloading and Uploading.
In there, you can set your 'upload' to 1. Meaning, the most that you'll upload is 1 kb, leaving more for downloading.
Plus, every torrent can be set to only allow 1 'upload slot' so that it will limit the amount that want the files that you
have. To best control this, in the General section of uTorrent, you can set it to 'Don't Start Torrent's Automaticlly'.
In the Properties of the torrent, you can set it to those settings as well. Keep inmind, I'm probably not the only one
that does this.

If you have been following this thread, you will have seen the Reply that esplains how not
to be tracked. Give that a read, and try that too.
At least try these and see if it improves at all.
