Could it be the problem with his "CDMA Wireless" connection set up?

I suspect he is on their network and is invisible to outside world, he gets to download only from seeds his uTorrent contacted itself.

Normally your uTorrent registers with the tracker and anyone downloading this torrent tries to connect to you using your IP address, but in his case he is invisible, his CDMA provider won't let strangers connect to him.

It would have no influence on OpenOffice download because his uTorrent contacted those servers and CDMA let them through, but on general torrents with constantly changin pool of peers it might be a big drag on your potential speed.
