Can't seed over 180kb/s
Southrop:
Holy fuck. 512 MB/s? Shit. That would take you less than a second to download anime episodes! I want that internet connection too!

How high can you get on other uploading services? Such as Megaupload or Rapidshare? Where have you seen your upload speed being better than what your uTorrent can perform? Are you sure you don't have your upload speed capped IN the program itself?
Try this, at the bottom of uTorrent to the right you can see your speeds DL/UL. Right click on the one uploading and choose "Unlimited".
Ion't know if it really says that, I use a Danish uTorrent so mine says "Ubegrænset". ;D

A lot of basic isp's give you a high download and low upload cap. mines 16mbps/2mbps (speed boost can make it a bit higher sometimes) with comcast and I have the same 180kb/s upload cap for torrents.
1 KB/s = 8 kbps
1 MB/s = 8 mbps
one uses bytes the other uses bits
Your never going to get quite what they advertise but you should be somewhere in the area. I get 3+mb/s down 180kb/s up which is 24mbps / 1.4mbps which is pretty much what they say i'll get. Now if only they could get their pos stable i'd be happy.
anyways the point is your most likely around the low 2 mbps upload cap like me and will be stuck at 180kb/s no matter what you do, unless your supposed to be getting higher then that in which case their may be more involved.

Go to http://speedtest.net/ and post your results here.
Who is your ISP, and figure out your line speed while you're at it.

180's a respectable speed. Now, I imagine you've got at least a 10mb NIC - this is an ancient technology - so - you must have it. This allows for 5/5 throughput. Full duplex, 10/10.
Things to consider:
A- know your max line speed - find that out. Turn off ALL connections when you measure. Call your ISP if you need to.
B- What is the throughput of your DSL router/Cable router? ( This can be a bottleneck. Say it sucks = and ask your ISP to swap it for you, if it's leased. )
C- Do you have a hardware firewall? Consumer-grade firewalls usually have VERY POOR capacity (Anyone - just try and prove me wrong. You already failed. If you can buy it at Staples/Officemax/BestBuy/etc - I don't care how much you paid for it - it's consumer grade. It sucks.) Very often, they are bottlenecks. The more connections going through your firewall, the slower it is. A good way to solve this issue - is to get an old enterprise grade router used. Like a snapgear (my personal fave), sonicwall, juniper, watchguard, etc. You can get one for a decent price. Even a 5 year old unit - is often BETTER than the shit you can pick up at the store.
D - Your network is as good as your hardware. Are you using wireless? If so, get wired. Are you using cheap hubs? Get a good switch. Don't skimp.
I got good hardware here - and I can seed at 100% of my upstream speed - AND - download fast as hell on top of it. I'm dealing with a 20/6 connection here too. :) So - that's a shitload of data moving. My internal network - It's damn close to as fast as drive access. It's killer.

Also - make sure your client is set up to randomize the download ports and/or encrypt your data so the ISP can't detect torrent traffic. If you're using an out of date client, get a new one that supports it.
