I generally use the bittorrent client at http://bittornado.com/ This
client lets you tune the amount of upload bandwidth (mid-transfer) you
wish to allow and I find that if I am not surfing I can often fill my
downstream (350k/sec) on popular torrents if I am willing to upload with
the whole 42k/sec my provider allows. To achieve this, you must not be
behind a firewall (or open the ports necessary). Behind some firewalls
it will still function, but only very slowly. (you will see a yellow
icon when this is the case)
