I tried to explain before but got shot down, the biggest killer with torrents/p2p is the number of connections, and after that the upload speed.

Generally there isnt a big reason to need to be so generous with uploading and I would set it to 50% of upload capacity at the most and keep number of connections as low as possible although it cant be too low since it works by utilising dozens of slow connections rather then 1 fast one sometimes.
