This is a guide to using Azureus a BT client. If you are not familiar with Bit Torrent, don't worry the first part of this guide explains it. This guide will teach you how to use Azureus to download files and will show you some of the features the client has.

Any chance you're behind a router or you have a firewall and need to grant access or that your ISP is throttling Bittorrent (don't know if that would cause a connection problem)?

I don't know that much about firewalls but I think most routers contain a hardware firewall and if access isn't granted to your software firewall, shut it off while using Bittorrent. As far as your router, you will have to forward ports for whatever client you use. Go to port forward.com, click forwarding, find your router and follow the directions.

Your ISP is, most likely, now filtering the traffic of their customers, throttling P2P requests to or near 0 bytes/s. How they do this is they intercept the file header of the data coming from your machine, read it, and once determined as P2P format, is then throttled to nothingness. I learned that Azureus has file header transfer encryption. My speeds returned to normal soon after turning it on.

Instructions:
Download latest Azureus version.
Setup as per your speed, etc. per usual.
On the menu, "Tools" --> "Options"
On options navigation to the left, "Mode".
Set user proficiency to advanced.
On options navigation to the left, "Connection" --> "Transport Encryption."
Check "Require encrypted transport", set min encryption level to "RC4", check the following two options as well. Click save at bottom left.
On options navigation to the left, "Transfer"
Check "Use lazy bitfield...." Click save at bottom left
