Cap the upload speed
Limiting your upload speed is by far the most important suggestion, and was also mention by Olivier Chalouhi in our previous BitTorrent speed guides. The rationale behind it is simple. Your connection is a tube (sort of), if you max out the upload capacity, the tube gets clogged.
Slapping my forehead!
On a 3.7GB torrent download, I've already uploaded 7.2GB of data to others! They've been getting it sometimes three-to-four times the speed of my downloading!
I've now limited the upload speed. And I've seen my download speed double as a result.
