I haven't reported it yet, I just got the contact details from the guys at Chetnet, so I'll give it a go.
I altered my TCP receive window from that site and it made a difference to NNTP downloads from Easynews, I get full whack from one connection now which I couldn't before, but it made no difference to the Poplar Proxies, they still appear much slower than others.

Right now I'm downloading 2 files from fileplanet at 20kb and a slow torrent at about 20kb. Shouldn't I be gettting twice these speeds?

You should definately get more than 20k from Fileplanet with a 2mb connection, I normally get at least 150k, it depends on their load etc but 20k is very poor.
Torrents vary enormously so 20k could be all you can get out of that particular one, also if you are uploading (as you probably will be if you are using Bittorrent) then your download speed could be fragmented somewhat, on my cable modem uploading drastically affects download speed.
