Short answer, you can't.

The download speed depends on two things:

1. The number of "seeds" with the particular torrent. A seed is a host computer which has made the torrent available for upload.

2. The number of "leechers". A leecher is anyone downloading the unfinished torrent.

If there are 50 seeds and no leechers, your download speed will be very fast. Unfortunately, this never happens. A decent download speed is around 50k/second.

It depends upon the amount of seeders and their upload speeds. There is no exact way to speed up a torrent, it is dependant on the seeders. Just be patient.
It depends on the number of seeders, seeding the file - whether you're router or firewall is blocking bittorrent ports (see port forewarding and make sure that ports 6881 to 6889 are allowed), the upload speed of the seeders, and ultimately YOUR connection speed.
It depends on the upload speed of the server you are downloading from. This cant be improved. Your internet download speed has a big affect on the speed. The speed of your computer doesnt matter very much just make sure you have cable or fast dsl.
Make sure that you open up the ports on the computer/router. If you are using a modem or router than you have to open up the ports to allow users to connect through otherwise the d/l speeds will become very slow. Type in the address of the router and find in the options open all ports. Then type in you ip address (should be 192.168.1.x)

If that does not help try downloading a differnet torrent.
depends on the uploader.. and you if you have dial up.. it doesnt matter if you have a pentium 1 with a 128 mb of ram.. if you have comcast and its going that slow then u have a problem.. but now u really cant do anything.. just get a better internet provider..

It mainly depends on the health of the file.

The health of the file is determined by the ratio of Seeders to Leechers.

Let's say you download a file from torrent and leave your computer seeding that file, the health would go up because one less person would be downloading it (you), and you would continue uploading it.

It's all a matter of finding the right sites to find torrent files and finding healthy links.
