First of all, you need to read the pinned guides for BT so you can understand the importantance of seeders and leeches.

Secondly, what program are you using?

Does the program you use display a colored circle near the top? Is it yellow or green? If it stays yellow, and you are behind a firewall, you may find that disengaging the firewall will greatly effect your speeds.
