I've got a friend who runs a linux server from home and also uses it for bt, I can ask him for some advice as well (and let you guys know what he tells me).
If you just do it from home, then you are limited to the speeds of your ISP, so you are not gaining a thing. You need to use a server that has a faster connection.... but stay away from the TTD servers or you will piss off the users!
