There is a few things that could cause this.

Heavy internet bandwidth usage in your local area.
Rogue program that downloads infomation. (Are you downloading anything else?)
If you have a wireless it could be a poor connection.

I recommend looking for programs that aren't using and shut them down, move your router if wireless. Restart the computer. If it doesn't improve, wait and see if it just temporary traffic.

Edit - Also the file you are downloading, if there is very little seeder or leechers, the top download speed will be lower. But if every file you are downloading is consistently slow then this isn't the case.

It's probaly something in the file you're downloading

Your ISP may be filtering the connection and preventing you from doing illegal activities.

Is your port open? Usually in utorrent or bittorrent it shows you a green tick at the bottom right of the window if it is. Restart the torrent. Reload you peers. Increase your number of incoming connections. Look into the peers list you're downloading from and see if they have 100% of the files being downloaded. See if it helps if you add better trackers like demonii, openbittorrent. Look into the windows resource monitor and check if something else is eating up your bandwidth.
