Alright, I'm using Bittorent Tornado (dunno which version), have a firewall (but it's never been a problem in the past, so I don't see why it should here), and the BT file is usually connected to 20 peers and 10 seeds.

The problem here is that it only d/ls at a rate of average 3 kB/s. I figured that since it's the FMA bittorent file (the one with eps. 1-51), there would be a lot of people d/ling from it. However, I keep getting this crap d/l speed and it sometimes even goes than 1 kB/s. Is there anything wrong? Greatly appreciated to any help.

I think its because you have not Port Forwarded. Do you have a router? If you do, go here: Port Forwarding (http://www.portforward.com) Locate the router model and number here. When you do, a tutorial will come up on how to route ports through it. Make sure to route ports 6881-6999 (these are what BT uses). Also, make sure you have the TCP Protocol set for each of these ports (when you see the tutorial, you'll know what I mean).
