lol@ your speed. here is my average download speed..YOU MAD!?

Wow, that is nice for an average speed.
If I get really good torrents, I can get up to 900 kB/s. Normally, I only average 120 kB/s though.

Use PeerGuardian 2, when my ISP starts throttling I use it and my speeds go back up.

Update your tracker.
PG2 is really good, Utorrent keeps records of users, so maybe it is moot.
shmokes:
I have never in my life, ever, on any torrent come anywhere near those kind of speeds. Fastest I've ever got was maybe 150 kB/s. My average speed is more like maybe 10 Kbps. I've downloaded files directly from good commercial servers at speeds around 1 Mbps, but never over bit torrent. For reference, the fastest ISP I've ever had was 12 Mbps down, and I'm currently paying for 3 Mbps, but I tested the other day at dslreports.com at like 7 Mbps. So I kind of suspect that local settings could be tweaked to significantly increase my speed, but I don't have time to sit down and really learn the ins and outs of bittorrent.

It really depends on what peers you got when you connected. If nothing else changed that's what did - you just got peers with less upload. Upping your max connections probably isn't a good idea if you're already using the default. I think I remember the router shmokes uses and it crashes regularly when a torrent client has too many connections established. The practical limit for that router is actually low enough in the default firmware that you'd have to flash it with an alternate to up your limits.
shmokes, you could sit on a T1 and probably never get 3Mbps on a torrent. I have a standard cable connection and get wildly varying speeds, upper limit is usually 400k but occasionally 700. More often it's under 100, though, as it is 100% dependent on the peers you get.
