The factor that made the most difference for me was to limit the upload speed.
For instance, for my 2Mb/s connection I limited the upload speed to about 1/15 of the maximum download rate, i.e. an upload rate of 136kb/s (17kB/s) - TorrentFreak recommends setting the upload speed to about 80% of the measured maximum upload rate. If the upload is set too high it will slow down the downloads since they need to use some upload capacity for requests.

P.S. Of course I also set the torrent client to switch to unlimited upload speeds once downloads are complete so I can seed the torrents more quickly.

For underground content (the stuff you shouldn't be downloading) try to find a private tracker, they'll give amazing speeds as everyone there is desperate to upload.

For legitimate traffic - you shouldn't have a problem, unless someone creates a new torrent for an existing file.

Don't hammer your outbound bandwidth - set it at 50-75% of your capacity, a clogged out-bound channel will nerf your inbound traffic. Also, don't run too many torrents at once.
