In utorrent you can set in Preferences > Connection, your maximum upload rate. Per torrent you can limit the upload rate too by right-clicking the torrent and go to properties.
Your general upload rate should be between 60-80 % of the maximum ISP upload rate. If the setting is too high, it will affect your download speed. If it is too low, your peers will not give you much.

PeerGuardian blocks IP addresses you don't want to connect to. It has often problems with connecting to the websites to update the blocklists. Reinstall it. This worked for me.
Please tell, do you have a modem with one LAN port, a modem/router with more than one LAN port or a modem and a separate router with four ports? What is your "promised" ISP download and upload rate?
