tcp/ip connection limit reached
If you weren't aware, with SP2 Windows has been limited to 10 TCP/IP connections per second (from SP1's unlimited). This can result in a slow ramping up of torrent downloads. There is more info and a fix at speedguide.net.

Well it has been 6 years; they didn’t have an anti-bit torrent dept back then.
If you are continuing to download torrents, despite your warning, I would probably install "peer guardian." http://methlabs.org/methlabs.htm
Peer guardian was recommended to me by the ISP that I work for. I talked to our security department, after I was busted, and they said this should do the trick.
Have you tested the speed caps you getting in your dorm? They have several T3's but I doubt they would not limit the student's connections a little. I would try and find your maximum upstream bandwidth, and then cap your BT upload at 80% of that. I set mine really conservatively at 60%, but I have a pretty low upstream.

The methlabs peer guardian has a list of anti peer to peer baddies, and it blocks any transmission to those addresses.
What i did was go to http://speedtest.dslreports.com
Their speed test gaqve the following results...
Your download speed : 2790966 bps, or 2725 kbps.
A 340.6 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 363442 bps, or 354 kbps.
So my upload is 354 kilobits, so then convert that to bytes 354 / 8 = 44.2 Kilobytes Per second.
Then we want to get 80% of that, 35 roughly.
In your BT client you will see maximum overall upload rate somewhere, force that to XX, in my case it was 35. You should see some improvement.
