I think the Majority of us here would agree that using LW as a Torrent Client is a Joke.
So Using a Real Torrent Client would be suggested.
Many Torrent Trackers have Banned LW because there is no way to Seed the Torrents once D/Led with LW, so it appears only to be a Leeching Client.
This may be the reason why you are getting these horrible results which will never change as long as LW stays on this Dead End Torrent Path.
Here is a Thread that has some good info on Other Torrent Clients and a Guide that may be Helpful.

Thank you for being so fast to respond. I actually had one of the torrents I got from Demonoid grab some speed, but the others were sorta hosed. I will try to grab another torrent app.

thanks also for the thread about torrent basics, that was VERY helpful, I guess I'll have to cram on the subject so I'll understand terms like 'leeching client'
