Got the correct port forwarding set? You sure you've not just got a slow torrent?

just seen you are on BT, they do indeed throttle torrents, especially after you go 110GB over your quota

Some ISP's can detect your using a torrent program, encryption tries to get round this.

Options> Preferences> BitTorrent - Set Protocol Encryption to Enabled
