Decent download speeds with uTorrent, but can't get over 60kb/s total?

I have always had this problem with uTorrent. Yes, it works. But it wont get past 60 kb/s usually. When i download something from the internet I usually get speeds of 150 kb/s. I know that it all depends on who is seeding, but if i have multiple torrents, all the speeds combined will add up to about 60 kb/s. If I remove one, then the others will speed up but again, the total speed always equals the same. I have my download speed set to 0 (unlimited) and I have tried messing with it a little and it doesn't make a difference.

Any advice or links to a guide that can help me out?

Have you used Options/Speed Guide in uTorrent.
This has a link to a speed test and a pulldown menu of usual upload speeds that will set your uTorrent preferences to their optimal.

It is the upload speed that matters most. uTorrent, like all bittorrent clients should have its upload capped at 80% of your overall upload speed.

Also pay attention to bits "b" and bytes "B".
uTorrent shows its speeds in bytes and 8bs = 1B. So the 60 in uTorrent is 60kBs which = 480kbs.
However, the pulldown menu is in bits (as this is what many tests give results in).

Using the Speed Guide should help on your speeds, but as you said, it also depends on the torrents you are on.
