if you are getting 200KBps then its fine because this the max speed people usually get on torrents.sometimes if you have a firewall it will allow utorrent but block speed test guide.

Download doesnot depend the port that you use. It purely depends on your bandwidth and other factors. For maximum download you can go for bridge mode configuration in modem instead of PPPOE mode. Because in PPPOE mode, modem needs to do NAT and forward packets to your PC but for bridge mode, no NAT operation so it process little bit faster.

Anyhow i dont recommend bridge mode for security reasons.
