It's the seeders. The more seeders (and other leechers), than the faster you will get your stuff. Less seeders and leechers mean you'll possibly be downloading for a long time (also depends on the size of the file(s)).
A good thing to remember also is to seed yourself when the download is done. You should also make sure your port(s) that you have BT connected to are open, on your download client and your firewall as well.

Try seeding alone for a day and see if that helps.

Mahalo is adding a tip to all questions that don't offer a tip.
Torrents download slow after a day or two. Why?
I usually have about 25-50 torrents downloading at once, and in the beggining the most active ones download at speeds between 250-350 kB/s (about 350 max speed), but after a couple days they all slow down, and dont go above 25kB/s. I have tried port forwarding, but havent been able to figure that out so I usually leave that as is. I have Windows Se7en, and I use BitTorrent 6.3. Any help would be great.

The main reason my torrents normally slow is the seeds. How fast a torrent goes all depends on how many seeds it's connected to and what upload speed those seeders are allowing. It's possible in the beginning your just getting lucky. ALSO.. I don't use bittorrent anymore but back in the day I know share ratio affected your upload speed. It's possible you are downloading wayyy more than your uploading.. so bittorrent is seeing you as a leech and not allowing you higher upload speeds anymore. Try seeding alone for a day and see if that helps.
