BitTorrent gives more download bandwidth to those who are sharing more. What is your upload and download bandwidth? In azureus, you can set how much you want to use: you should be using good settings..

The torrent itself can also play a large part. Make sure there are plenty of seeders and peers, and that the torrent isn't restricted somehow (some are for members only, but will let non-members download at low speeds).
As a test to see what your system can manage, try downloading the open office torrent:
http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.h tml
With that download, I get download speeds of about 230kbps.
