Torrents are a bit more complex issue than a simple download. You're using Bit Tornado which is a good choice, however you might want to try something simpler like (muuu)torrent:
http://www.utorrent.com/
or BitComet
http://www.bitcomet.com/
Both are rather small (the first client is tiny) and well featured. The latter has DHT support which is nice, but not so nice - if this is cryptic, please read more on DHT. Bottom line it may speed things up noticeably.
I suppose a simple test is to use a few client software on the same torrents and compare differences.
Another thing. You might have your listening port turned off. If so, turn it on. It helps a lot.

Look here:

Now, as to download speeds, you can't predict it easily. DHT enabled clients are often kicked, hence the download drops, but then again, sometimes you won't get otherwise on a private tracker.
It all depends... torrent is a new thing quite early in its development, so expect frequent changes to the algorithm, and even more to client software.

Your download is slow because it's PEER-TO-PEER. You're not downloading from a direct server. You only have 24 uploaders distributing to 10 downloaders which can be slow or fast depending on your peers and seeds connection speed. Honestly, I don't think there's anything you can do about those speeds because i will repeat again, it's in Peer-To-Peer. However, BitComet has supposedly registered faster downloading speeds than BitTornado. BitComet is much better download manager than BitTornado.

nailed it
SNGX1275 nailed it on the head.
you need to open certain ports to use the bittorrent clients. You are probably not connectible to the website you are using (some offer this information).
Do a little research and setup your router/machine to pass through some open ports and you will see a GOOD difference.
Hell some torrent files cannot connect at all if you dont have that setup correctly.

Do you really understand how torrents work?l33t_tek said:
It's a swarming download. In simplest terms everyone is downloading from everyone else regardless of whether they have a complete copy (seeds) or not (peers). Once one of the peers has a "chunk" ready for download it is uploaded to whomever doesn't already have that piece of the completed file.
Peer to peer can be MUCH faster than a direct server unless the direct server is using a very big pipe to the net. Have 10-20 people try to download a large file from a server with a T1 and then compare the same 10-20 people using a torrent to download the same file from 10 seeds with moderate upload capabilities (500k). The torrent will finish faster.
(This is all based on people not turning off their upload and just being leeches.)

does this mean it is better to allow alot more to upload?

It means you should play fair. Don't leech. Allow the torrent to seed once you've downloaded it. I let it go for another day or so. Also, be aware that the torrent algorithms are constantly being redeveloped and you can expect that the code will get smart enough to degrade the service to leeches and promote fair use. The trackers are also, doing what they can, so if you leech you can expect your IP blacklisted.
