Answer 2

Torrent speeds usually depend on the site you are getting it from. Try torrents with lots of seeds. Also check on your internet connection if your overall speed is slow. If you have a PC, use uTorrent and get the same torrent your getting on Transmission and compare. I've had no problems with Transmission on default settings.
