Switch to uTorrent and make sure you are using the latest stable version of 2.0.4 Build 21586.
1. The most important thing is to make sure you have portforwarded and that your firewall is allowing your ports.
To find out Open uTorrent go to Options > Setup guide > Untick the bandwidth test at the top and run the network test. Your port MUST display as open, try 2 more times if it is registered as closed.
If your port still says that it is closed you need to portforward the port that uTorrent is using which you can find at Options > Preferences > Connections > The port at the top right is the port that uTorrent is using, and needs to be port forwarded in your router.
2. Use the following settings
(This is for a 384k connection)
Connection
Have the following ticked:
Enable UPnP port mapping
Enable NAT-PMP port mapping
Add Windows Firewall exception
Bandwidth
Maximum upload rate: 16
Maximum download rate: 0
Global maximum number of connections: 80
Maximum number of connected peers per torrent: 55
Number of upload slots per torrent: 3
BitTorrent

Enable bandwidth management [uTP]
Limit local peer bandwidth

I don't see why not, though obviously your connection isn't as stable as ADSL.

"...On the other hand, many users do have shoddy network hardware/connections, so leaving it disabled is advantageous to them if they actually want to be able to use their Internet connection reliably for other applications...."
I personally don't see a need for it, if you do then that's good for you.
Here's a whole discussion about it, so you can decide for yourself: http://fr33sp33k.h33t.com/index.php?topic=10987.0

No problem like I said above, the most important thing is that your port is forwarded, if it not you will experience very slow download/upload speeds. refer to portforward.com for more help.
