I notice the fast torrent you have going is primarily made up of people using the utorrent client. Taking a look at the flags (DE/D IE) , all of them are running encryption (I wish i was connected to more utorrent seeders like that hehe). In the other pic, you are indeed connected to only a few of the seeds who aren't running any encryption (flags are D I, though there was one with an E that you were connected with). Not sure though, I see other ip's with encryption on but no speed. I'm curious, are these two torrents from the same tracker? Can you give me a pm of the address of the tracker if possible? That speed is pretty darned good for the 1mb package, I think you've been upgraded to 1.5m. In any case, when you paused the first torrent, it probably still had open connections (the previous connections were not dropped, but weren't transferring any data, because you may have already reached the limit of global maximum connections) that's why the other torrent did not increase in speed (I may be wrong though).

PS - if anyone was curious what the flags mean in utorrent, here they are:

What do all those flags in the Flags column mean?

* D = Currently downloading (interested and not choked)
* d = Your client wants to download, but peer doesn't want to send (interested and choked)
* U = Currently uploading (interested and not choked)
* u = Peer wants your client to upload, but your client doesn't want to (interested and choked)
* O = Optimistic unchoke
* S = Peer is snubbed
* I = Peer is an incoming connection
* K = Peer is unchoking your client, but your client is not interested
* ? = Your client unchoked the peer but the peer is not interested
* X = Peer was included in peerlists obtained through Peer Exchange (PEX)
* H = Peer was obtained through DHT.
* E = Peer is using Protocol Encryption (all traffic)
* e = Peer is using Protocol Encryption (handshake)
