I got that same problem, I was thinking that theres something wrong with my internet, but its not. I did come up with a reason why and that its because the bandwidth is low due to so much downloading, cuz my friends get speeds up to 500 and they barely download anything.

Use Google, everything I ever learned how to do is through Google, you'll find plenty of tutorials. Including fowarding your port on you router.

Run a speedtest, get the upload speed results. Divide the number by 8, then work out 80% of that and set it as your upload speed.

This is the only device I have i run my phone line into it & then run the network plug from it to my pc.

Just a cable modem? Just limit your upload speed to 80% then, and it should be fine. If you leave it as unlimited, it chokes your connection, resulting in slow download speeds

no bro!! i always set my upload speed to less than 25%. do u think that port forwarding will work for me???

Im sure its the tracker [the torrent site] you're using.
I never can get good speeds from a public tracker.
I get full speed from private trackers though.
