http://www.portforward.com <This website will tell you how to portforward properly.
As for getting only a 20kb download speed and your friend's getting more, was it the same torrent?
You can have the best internet connection on Earth and you still may not get better speeds, it does not depend on your connection when leeching for good speeds, as much as it does on the connection of the host, seed etc. If your host(s) has a good connection for uploading then your download speed, provideing conditions are right, will be good.
I say the above to a lot of people ;) want better speeds why not pay for the seeder to get a better connection?
More seeders there are the better, the more seeders there with good connections even better, the more seeders there and less leechers good, only seeders and lots of them and no leechers BINGO.

Hey there,
If you are experiencing issues with your torrent speeds, please read on.
If you are using a router, please ensure that you have configured it to play nice with your BT d/l & u/l speeds, here are some
great guides on how to open and forward ports on your router:
*Step 1*

*Step 2*
If you have a firewall installed, you must allow your BT client full access to the network via <Insert firewalls name here>. How to do this depends on what firewall you are using, information on how to do this is likely to be found on the manufacturers forums:
Kerio Forums

Outpost firewall Support Forums

Zone Labs User Forum
http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs
Sygate Product Forums

If you have Windows XP firewall installed, I recommend you disable it (via Control Panel Security Centre) and use one of the firewalls listed here:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/292257
Windows firewall has no outbound protection, meaning a full software firewall will prove much more effective.
*Step 3*
Download well seeded torrents, seed's are people who have the full file and are distributing, leech's/peers are people who are acquiring the file, the more leech's the slower the speed as the seed can only upload xxxyyyzzz amount at one time, the greater the upload & download speed of the seed the faster data can be transferred, a torrent with 100 seeds and 500 peers will go very slow, as there are more people trying to download the file than share it, meaning less data can be uploaded to the peers as there is more to share it with.
A torrent with 200 seeds and 10 leech's will go very fast! as the seed can upload more to xxyyzz person as there is less people to share it with.
Please tell us the amount of seed's and leech's on the torrent!
*Step 4*
If you have Windows Service Pack 2 installed, you'll need this:
Install the LvlLord Patch
http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=downloads
Windows will prompt you with a pop up telling you system files are being altered, ignore this, click cancel, also your Anti Virus may alert you telling you this patch is a virus, its not! so ignore that too :-)
*Step 5*
If there still slow, its possible your ISP is capping your BT download & upload speeds, you need to call them and ask them how they feel about "Peer to Peer file sharing programs" and whether they have placed any caps, it may be worth you checking out this guide if so:

thray flashget? What does that mean?
Anyways, yes, you are right about the Bitcomet versions. I had Bitcomet .7 and it worked great, I got great speeds. Then I upgraded to .8 and it sucked, and even lost some features, such as not being able to pause all tasks when it was in the system tray. Also, I couldn't get it to quit by clicking the right upper hand "X" in the window. How dumb!
Now I use utorrent. It has great features, easy to understand functions and icons, and this great function that tells you if your port needs to be properly forwarded. It's so small too compared to the latest 8,9,10 or whatever hefty megabyte Bitcomet.
