Get that.

Right, now first thing is the speed guide. If it doesn't auto-start on first run, then go to "Options" menu and then "Speed Guide".

Click "Test if port is forwarded correctly". If it is, you'll get a webpage saying OK. If not, it will have a link to a site that guides you on opening ports.

If the port is open and you're still getting shite speeds, try enabling encryption. TO do this, go to the "Options" menu again and click "Preferences".

On the pop-up box, you'll have options on the left. Click "BitTorrent". At the bottom you'll see "Protocol Encryption", change it to "Enabled" and wait a while. If it still hasn't sped up, try "Forced" and/or unchecking "Allow incoming legacy connections". (Try only if speeds are defiantly slower as this could slow it down even further).

I did a search and I can't find anything about Eircom slowing down torrents yet, some people can't get them working at all though so you might be one of the lucky ones.
