2 machines, same ISP connection?

First, thanks for a great program and all the forum support!

I have one satellite ISP, one router, and two computers.

Using the Azureus calculator my max upload speed is 162 kilobytes/sec. Speedtest reports 203.

I have set up each machine with Tixati with unique static addresses and different ports. PF
reports it can ping the router and the ports are open on each machine.

I am running a different torrent on each machine trying for greater speed.

The resulting speeds are not good. I don't know if the reason is that the torrents have poor trackers / peers or if my plan is flawed.

Is there hope for this idea (what settings should I use?) Or will I simply get half speed on each machine?

I'd surely appreciate any input as I am new to torrents.  Thank you in advance!

Same ISP connection, same total speed (no matter how many machines you connect behind it, they'll all divide the speed, not multiply it).

You should be able to utilize whole bandwidth from one computer, running Tixati on both machines is not a good idea, they will disturb each other.
