Default Strange torrent problem

I have my static ip, port forwarded and everything set but my torrents download very slow...

For example, one particular torrent had over 400 seeders and 1000 peers but I only connect to 4 seeds and 20 peers. I tested my internet speed and it was normal. These torrents are downloading at like max 10kbps and uploading at 30kbps. I tested another torrent openoffice or something and it shot upto over 450kbps download in a couple of minutes with 10 seeds.

I'm using utorrent, this is the weirdest thing I've come across. I even changed my port, reset the modem, restarted comp, only download 1 torrent at a time, tried limiting and unlimiting upload speeds. To top it off, when downloading a torrent at snail speeds my browsing becomes extremely slow as if I am maxing out but I know it is no where near. I have ADSL+2 and torrents used to download at 200-600kbps and upload at 80-100kbps.

It sucks downloading slow, feels like I'm in the 56k stoneage.

Any ideas of what I might have to tweak?
