Try switching the two computers to each other's connections?
So that the one that's currently performing really well on Be is connected to VM, and vice versa.
Because I'd guess that's where the problem lies.
Alternatively you could double-check all your torrent client's settings, reboot your computer and cable modem, then check all Window's network parameters for that connection...
At around midnight I was downloading a torrent with two seeds and a fellow peer on my 4Mb VM connection at a consistent speed of 2.9Mb/s.
To my knowledge, VM don't throttle torrents at all.

I've capped upload speed at 10kbs.

Set it to 80% of your actual upload speed or you'll slow down your torrent download rate.

also when downloading torrents on vm, it makes the browser go really slow and pings go hihg up,

That sounds to me like a sure sign that your pc cannot cope with the multiple connections.
Have a read about how to
"Hack the max half-open TCP connections"?
If you're not already using the
uTorrent client, I'd recommend you give it a go.
It has it's own connection optimiser built-in that'll test your speed and suggest optimum settings.
Feel free to post any specific questions you have back here and I'll try to answer them.
