That could very well be the problem.

If i remember correctly, you become "choked" when you send data to someone at less than 300bytes a second. They mark you as being unreliable, and won't send you data.

If your client allows it, make sure your max upload on the torrent is limited to 10% less than your max upload on your connection. Also, limit the number of peers you upload to, to a number that will allow them to get more than 1k a second off you.

Alternatively change client. I was always choked when i used Azereus (when i was trying it out) but with Burst, i was fine, and could download without problems.
