What's wrong with azureus?
It's just a client. The speed of your torrent is down to your connection and that of your seeds.

[EDIT: also, slow down a bit there, cowboy.]

What colour is the little ball in your bottom right?
If it's amber you may have NAT problems, otherwise you are just leeching from slow seeds.

some ISPs restrict traffic speeds on certain ports
(like Bittorrent)

The other problem is
That your download speed is determined by your upload speed, to keep things fair, and internet connections in this country are stupidly lopsided. Your upload speed sucks balls, so you won't download very fast.
