RE: slow utorrent speeds
It sounds like your internet service provider is throttling your torrents. If this is the case, then I feel very sorry for you because there aren't any full proof solutions, but the following should help you a little bit:
Go to Options > Preferences... > Advanced and set "peer.lazy_bitfeild" to true.
Now change to the "BitTorrent" section of the preferences window and set encryption to "Enabled" and "Allow incoming legacy connections" at the bottom.
See, that should help with public trackers but in reality you aren't going to get any decent speeds on public trackers while being throttled. The only way you are going to experience regular speeds is by joining private tracker communities where the majority of users use encryption enabled clients, and even then it is hard to maintain the required ratios.
BTW, I am currently under really heavy throttling by sudden link but achieve decent speeds on torrent damage and OiNK. Ask around for invites.
