I use shadows experimental (the updated version is called bittornado) and my torrents always go really fast.

I don't know bittornado, I'm still using shadows experimental, but it can't be much different. Go into preferences-advanced and set "local ip" and "ip to bind to" to your ip, otherwise it sometimes uses the webcache instead. Set max peer connections to something like 60. Lower your upload to something around 2 thirds to 3 quarters of your maximum upload speed - if you upload at your maximum speed it severely slows your download speed.
