Looks like you aren't being shaped. Try this if you haven't already:

You'll also need to increase uTorrent's net.max_halfopen value to 50 after patching the file.
What is the connection limit in your utorrent config? Check it out under preferences - bandwidth - number of connections (not sure it these are the exact names since I'm not using an english version of utorrent).
Bandwidth:
Max Upload Rate: 5600
Global Downloading Rate Limiting: 0
Global Maximum Number of Connections: 950
Maximum Number of Connected Peers per Torrent: 125
Number of Upload Slots per Torrent: 50
Use additional upload slots if upload speed <90% [Checked]
I have mine set to 1000 and 500 with 6 upload slots
Had it lower, and never maxed out my home line...
You can only get the amount of speed equal to the speed available of the connected peers. If you only connect to 125 peers, and each only has X bandwidth, you will get more if you connect to more peers (if more peers are available that is)
Just saying what works for me, I never said it was normal. But if I jump on older torrents (which I do often) and each only has a few KB upload, then connecting to as many seeders is needed, rather then 20 people at 5KB/seeder
I always max my down and up, peers permitting.
