Have you tried Azureus? Works for me.
WOO. It works. Even though it's interpreter s**te.
OTOH. 4k/s on a 512k connection? They can f*ck RIGHT off.
Turn on the encryption in azureus, this helps a lot. It doesn't help me though as my belkin router takes exception to p2p programs in general :-(
Anyone who is hammering their connection needs a business grade router - Billion 7402R2 or 7042G is the cheapest I've found that causes no problems even when it's got lots of stuff hanging on the client side including P2P, FTP and Mail servers and 40 web users. Built in VPN server is handy too.
Peerguardian / safepeer is useful for those who are downloading copyrighted material as it helps to prevent the owners of such material connecting to you and complaining to your ISP. If you're only using P2P for freely distributable stuff then there's no point.
I've had great experiences with Linksys. I think it is better than Cisco gear. Which is ironic.

I don't know what my router is, but I can download at 240k/sec on 2mb, granted P2P often doesn't get there, sometimes, but not often. Usually hovers around sort of 100-200 mark if I'm lucky.
It doesn't here - that's the speed with it turned on! Been fiddling around a lot to just make P2P work (before I set azureus up, the connection would freeze up totally, for HTTP and the lot).
