Quick test from me, from a torrent with 2x100Mbit seeders and 1x1Gbit seed box.
VM connection (at gfs) download starts off @ 100Kb/s, sometimes touches 200Kb/s but wont go any higher.
Hook up her ADSL+2 connection, download starts at 2.3MB/s straight away and stays that way, now you could say adsl+2 connection has much better routing to the seedbox/seeders, however, the seedbox is in the UK and has a good link up to VM (http links direct from the seedbox are fine, btw).
Nothing funky going on there? course not
Torrenting On VM @ her house is impossible, poor speeds, poor upload speeds.
Yet fine with HTTP (usenet even goes up/down now...lol..)
