No they don't

Try downloading an Ubuntu Torrent. They tend to be very well seeded and always reach line speed for me. That will help work out if it's your client / connection or the torrent you're trying to download. There's also a bunch of things you can do to speed up torrents, like port redirection - google "speed up torrents" or similar.
Chances are there is no fault, If someone is asking about this on a public forum and not pre stating they have tried opening ports, firewall and done tests then they are most likely using some public tracker that has no seeders.
Just replied on your comment in the MyRepublic thread.. I'm on Vodafone UFB and can max my 100/20 with torrents.
I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.
This is usually a port forwarding/client setup issue rather than an ISP issue. Also depends on the quality of the torrents you're getting (e.g. public vs private) and how they're seeded.

both public and private trackers
ports are forwarded on my router (I'm not sure if they're opened?), this speed drop is a recent thing. Previously I was able to get 5mb/s download speed, i haven't changed anything, just lost speed one day and have been slow (when torrenting) ever since
what tests should I do?
Coon: what tests should I do?
As previously mentioned, get a Linux ISO torrent and see how that performs. If that's fast, the issue isn't your ISP, it's the quality of the torrents you're using. Even if it's slow, the issue is still unlikely to be your ISP and rather your client settings.
hio77:Have you confirmed it's possibly not just a swarm issue on this particular site/torrent?
confirmed it's not just one torrent/site, getting 200kb/s-300kb/s when I should be getting 10 times that (previously I was getting up to 6mb/s)
also noticed when torrenting and tryng to download something in browser or surfing, i get 23.3 KB/s, but normal browsing/browser download speed when not torrenting
What router are you running? Torrents can be pretty tough on consumer grade routers (and yes that includes "GAMING" routers).
I would guess, bad firewall config, no UPnP, firewall on PC etc.

+1 crap routers just don't like all them connections.

r7000 with tomato
yes, wifi

I see two big problems right there..
A: Netgear
B: WiFi
