The problem is not so much how many peers you are connected to, rather the quality of the peers, I find the ideal quality of peers is around 12, Having hundreds of peers connected keeps your computer busy lessening your overall download speed while having less peers will speed up your overall download rate. I find it normal that my download rate is over 1,000 kp/s with less than 12 peers. Ignore or IP ban all the scrubs who upload at less than 5 kb/s and see the difference.
Or you could ban by country, basically all countries except Russia, Korea, Sweden, Denmark, Hong Kong, Ukraine, Malaysia, Singapore, a few other Eastern European countries.
