Sounds like you have a router that isn't forwarded or your ISP is blocking torrents. Do you see it here: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs You can also enable Protocol Encryption: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/395674 and what port are you using. Select one over 10,000 that isn't the default. And nothing to do with speeds but check into using Peer Guardian 2 by Phoenix Labs, a free blocker of known ip's of companies that report to the RIAA/MPAA, not 100% but very good.

That's good but the list is constantly being updated. What is your ISP; maybe someone knows?

You are correct on both counts, roadrunner is Time Warner and they just enabled packet shaping systemwide in June,2007:

You could try downloading overnight outside their "peak hours" but anything with Warner in its title sets off alarm bells for me.
