Yes, it turns out my ISP (Pipex) throttles BT traffic to a measly

bandwidth!

You may (depending on how sophisticated your ISP's traffic management
is) be able to circumvent this restriction by not using the default
ports and/or switching encryption on.

I'll look into encryption, but reading about it, there seems to be
compatibility issues between clients, so I'm not sure it's quite ready
yet.

If you configure it, Azureus will attempt to start an encypted
session, and if that's not possible, it will fall back to unencrypted.
