For getting maximum download rates, you must make sure that the upload rate is not too high that it chokes the download nor it should be too low as that may limit the communication with other clients for getting packets.
It depends upon how many peers are connected.. If you are downloading from less that 10 peers, you can set the upload rate to some 10 kBps..
If you are downloading from more number of peers, increase the upload rate further. Try starting from like 6 kBps and keep changing by steps of 4 kBps.
Go on increasing the upload rate as long as you get an increase in the download rates.. You must wait atleast a minute or two after changing the upload rate to see an increase in download rate. You can stop at the point where there is no further increase in the upload rate.
If you want to fix it to some value, I recommend 16 kBps for upload on a 512 kbps DSL connection.

I have this issue with my torrents. The number of peers ans seeds dies out gradually and finally i am left with none of them and the download stops.

When I restart the torrent it goes fine.

What will be the problem ?

I assume that your port forwarding is disabled. That causes the torrent client to perform much slower than the actual ability.

Configuring port forwarding for uTorrent is not so difficult.
You have to first log on to your DSL modem /router 's control interface thru web browser or telnet (using ip address of your router). Then follow the instructions of your router manual to enable Virtual Servers. This setting is available in Advanced Setup>NAT>Virtual Servers in most standard routers.
Now give the following details

Server name : any (ex:-uTorrent)
External Port Start : anyport (ex:-34567)
External Port End: same as previous (ex:-34567)
Protocol : TCP
Internal Port Start : anyport (ex:-34567)
Internal Port End: same as previous (ex:-34567)
Server IP Address : IP of your LAN connection that connects to router


After enabling these settings, save and reboot the router.
Then goto utorrent>Options>speed Guide
set the "Current Port" value to the port number u
have just enabled in router (34567).

Now enjoy the fast downloads in utorrent!!!

Thanks for the info.
Now I have enabled the port forwarding and I get around 50 kBps download overall. But I doubt whether this port forwarding will cause my system to be vulnerable to attacks. Will the windows firewall help ?

Though port forwarding alone cant do much harm to your system, make sure that you are running a firewall that allows only utorrent to communicate thru the particular port.

You can also try Zone Alarm, which I prefer.

But I strongly doubt whether this port forwarding will allow the authorities to
track you down in case you are downloading an illegal stuff such as movies or
music.
Now the copyright protection system considers using torrent as a serious crime as people are downloading as well as hosting illegal content at the same time.

I have not much to worry about copyright issues as I download only leagal
softwares from torrents. And I think I dont have much problem even if I download some illegal stuff as my connection has a dynamic Ip address.

How do they track that ?

Any client downloading illegal stuff can be tracked down very easily if the
authorities want to do so. Enabling port forwarding will not increase or
decrease the probablity of being tracked down. But as a matter of fact, they
dont do nothing much more than sending your ISP a long mail regaring you downloading the stuff... the ISP will forward the same to you. If a second message is recieved, there will be some problems like ISP blocking you or something.

I will paste here a sample mail one of friend got....
