Waiting busy hosts from the magnet site? wow! Either the site is busy or ... no I just checked it out. Mine was queued for 2 seconds & then downlding at maximum speed. What's the name of your ISP?

Another option is trying different connection ports or proxies. But proxies are difficult & tedious to set up & find one that works reasonably.

Give your ISP a call & demand to speak to a technician & say you've been having speed problems & ask are they shaping p2p programs. BTW the majority of ISP's in UK are now bandwidth shaping p2p sharing. They use special programs that detect the program & can either block it or shape the bandwidth it's using along that port or a range of ports or simply the packets somehow.

Here's an example of some p2p shapers that ISP's may/do use: sandvine :
