Hi,
reducing your max upload helps only if your upload bandwidth is near max.
The idea is to upload as much as possible, without making your client slow to respond to the requests. If your upload runs at about 70kB/s (which is better then adverage), then I would set your max upload at about 55kB/s while downloading.
Now, if you are using a router, you must forward your listening port.
portforward.com has guides with pictures for most routers.
you will also want to set a static IP address in windows.
If your not using a router, then these steps are not necessary.
In either case, you should be using a listening port in the 50,000 to 60,000 range.
I would also find a very healthy torrent to test your client. I can recommend one if you like.
