In the ports table of your router configuration create a new port definition for the port used in your torrent software.  This made a big difference to the download speed for me.

I've gotten a lot of help from reading forums.utorrent.com

I find utorrent 1 of the faster clients around. However, I've not done any downloading on my mac. Oh by the way, the router that the threadstarter is using, it seems prone to hanging / connection errors after maybe a day of leeching.

That router can be easily flashed to third party linux based firmware and it becomes a powerful piece of hardware  Very Good

Not able to lay my hands on the Talisman firmware. Was using hyperwrt and it still hanged. Linksys' standards dropped ever since taken over by cisco, ironically.
