For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.you must make sure that azureus is working fine: no NAT firewall and good distributed database. You want everything to be green, even the Ratio :>) . How many seeds are there for that torrent? if there are only peers and no seeds you will always struggle to complete it until someone re-seeds it. If you have no seeds/peers then find another fully seeded torrent on somewhere like http://thepiratebay.org/
All this information was from a google search I don't know anything about bit torrents.

The previous poster is correct, the issue is how many seeders there are for a file rather than the torrent client you are using. Your torrent software will tell you how many seeders there are. As suggested, try a few different torrent sites searching for the same file and download the one with the most seeds.
Azureus is the best client. Goto their site and onto their wiki, and there's a page about Good Settings. Do what it says for your connection speed, and then make sure it says "NAT ok" at the bottom, and the distributed database shows the number of people connected next to it.
Finally, the speed will depend on the quality of the torrent. A good torrent is one with lots of peers and lots of seeders. If you only have a few people downloading it, it may take ages if everyone has average connections.
