I've used BT before, and I'd have to say that the best way to increase your download speed is to use a client that you can limit your upload speed with. I did a test just for kicks with the base BT client and a 3rd party client (there are tons of them, I suggest checking out SourceForge and pick out one that catches your eye) which allowed me to set a max upload speed. I set it around 5-10k and my download went much faster than with the basic BT client. That's something you may want to look into.
