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*
Router Configuration Guides

TUTORIAL: How To Open Ports and Forward them to your Router (By tEChniiQue):

*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:

Outpost firewall Support Forums

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

If you have Windows XP firewall installed, I reccomend you disable it (via Controll Panel Security Centre) and use one of thefirewalls 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 aquiring 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 100 seeds and 10 leechs 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 ServicePack 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:

1000 peers & 250seeds is bloody awful, get a torrent with more seeds than peers. Also I suggest you read this:

Sounds like your ISP's throttling BT traffic.

I have a feeling what you read on the guide's sorted you out :-)
Because BT traffic takes so much of ISP's available bandwidth, the smart thing for them to do is throttle it so your speeds crawl down to minuscule levels. We can get around this by PSE & MSE.
Make sure to have used that guide properly and grab PG2, as for the query on how to find torrent speeds prior to the download, just check the no. of seeds & peers (aka leechers):
1000 leechers & 20000 leechers = BAD
1000 leechers & 20000 leechers = GOOD
Get it? That info is given when you grab the .torrent off the tracker btw.
Cheers.
