why does my broadband go from superfast to a crawl?

I just did a few speed tests and i jave an average of about 6.9 to 7 Mb but i have trouble downloading from Utorrent, its like it just dribbles to the point i just stop the download. Any clues?? Les, you use torrents, which do you use ?

ISP's throttle back torrents in some cases, they also can be very slow depending on the upload speed you are getting it from which is why I use Hotfile.
