How can I speed up my bit torrent?

[FoolishGuru]

I've been using torrents for awhile but recently my downloads have been going about 3 kb/s to 30 kb/s and it takes forever. I've pretty much ruled out it being a problem with my fire wall and yet some downloads will still average over 300 kb/s though that's about 1 out of every 5 downloads. Any help?

you can go on youtube search for speeding up or you can download vuze which is faster than bit torrent. also u can download utorrent which might be faster but now it has changed and its now not so good

I've written about my trials and tribulations with speeding up uTorrent on my personal site, there is also a smaller list available at Lifehacker.com
