Are you tired of waiting so long for your torrent files to get downloaded. Even if you have a good,stable internet connection the speed at which the files are downloaded are simply annoying. You could always improve it by following the following 
1. Set proper upload and download speed
You will 1st have to find out your maximum upload and download speed. You could check it over here
Make a note of your upload and download speed
Note: If the test results shows the speeds in kB/s,you could take the value directly but if the speed is shown as kb/s,you will have to convert it to kB/s by dividing the value by 8.
Set the upload speed to 80% of your maximum upload speed you have found out &
Set the download speed to 95% of the max speed.
2.check seeds and peer
Check whether there is a good seed per peer ratio.
3.Port Forwarding
The Default IP will limit the connections offered to the port through the Bit torrent is connecting. Creating a static IP for this would do. You can learn about this here
4. Last but not least, Please turn off your windows firewall. Windows firewall doesn’t like P2P and its not going to be of any help turned ON in your computer. So try to get a good firewall like zone alarm.
I will stop it right there. There are a few other things to improve the speed too. But, think this will do.
Thats it ! Enjoy!!

Thanks! My average download speed was 25 kb/s.But after i configured. It became 80 kb/s. Just imagine then how much this improves the download speed.

You have BSNL ? and its kBps not kbps. (if its 80 kbps, then it sucks)
