I've rarely had problems downloading torrents. Now I'm getting yellow smiley faces all the time. It seems to have started recently. In addition to the items below, I also have a Sprint Airave 2.5 between the modem and the router, and I live out in BFE so my connection isn't usually all that great. When I want to download, I usually turn off all other programs.
