Props to Rob on the excellent description and details!
You may also wish to try adjusting your TCP stack as well. Do not adjust over you ISP advertised speed! If you have a 6 MbPS connection, then only use an adjustment of 6 to 6.5, no more.
Now I use this patch to adjust my half open connections to 50. I hear it helps torrent traffic and the like. The grabasstic idea of M$ reducing it down to 10 because of the threat of spreading a virus infection is absurd. Here it is for Vista. 
If you need to reset the TCP stack in vista.
For reseting the TCP stack in XP
As Rob was saying, I don't use Bit torrent much either. My client is Utorrent. I run it in a virtual machine where Limewire and all the other "potential" nasty software resides.
I have owned the L version coming up to a year so far and love it! Keep in mind that re-flashing the L version is a two step process that you will discover on the DD-WRT website. This is due to the memory size.
