Check the Global Download Rate in the software - it is normally 0 (meaning infinite). See if it has changed for some reason. Availability of peers for a particular torrent is also an issue.

In any case, different torrent softwares use different servers and different databases. It depends on the software itself. Maybe BitTorrent's server has a problem. Also, check for updates; your version maybe an old one & needs to be updated. Use the other torrent softwares as they seem to be OK. In any case, uTorrent is always the best according to me - super-light & effective.

depends on how many peple are seeding as well (and they may also have there upload rate set to the lowest setting possible) could be firewall issue too

Lolz, thats true BSNL style !

Anywayz are u usin ur ADSL or Dial Up line ?!? Again kidding !

Okay jokes apart, this is either the problem with ur speed settings in ur server or in ur lines, in either case call BSNL office and ask them to rectify it.
And keep ur fingers crossed !

Same thing happened with my friend's MTNL 2Mbps, was fixed in a day, was a problem with his speed setting in MTNL server, BTW he was stuck on smtng arnd 256Kbps n not Dialup 56kbps LOL
