The 1500 down and 256 up convert to 187 down and 32 up in bittorrent terms (bt talks about speeds in terms of Bytes, whereas computer companies talk about it in terms of bits. 1 Byte = 8 bits)

If you get on many torrents at a time, you are not going to get as great a speed as if you did just a couple at a time and then moved on to a couple more. You are 'given' more data is you show that you are more likely to share. So, those who share their upload rate with the swarm will be given more to download. If you are on lots of torrents, then the upload you share with each torrent is going to be small and therefore they aren't going to share a whole lot with you.

An accurate NAT checker is here. See what that says in terms of whether you are firewalled or not.
