That's not strictly true - the basic algorithm behind the protocol includes the fact that peers will choose which peers to communicate with based on the return speed. i.e. The higher the upload bandwidth you can guarantee to another peer the more chance there is of it choosing to upload back to you than someone else in the swarm.

The key point in there is 'guaranteed' - if you offer a high bandwidth but don't stump up with the goods as it were then you get choked and see very low download speeds. Hence the reason you should set the max upload speed in your client properly.
