Are you trying to use your Tor as both a client and a server? The
bandwidth limits that Tor uses affect all incoming traffic -- so by
setting a bandwidthrate of 20KB/s, you're limiting your incoming traffic
to way less than you could get otherwise.
The temporary fix is to do a bandwidth shaping script like
the one Mike Perry uses (Mike, is this posted somewhere?),
or to run two Tors (one a server, one a client -- see
http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#RunTwoTors for
details, which are alas quite sparse for the case of Windows), or to
turn off the server side for now, or to wait patiently for us to add a
feature (hopefully in 0.1.2.x) that will only rate-limit certain classes
of traffic.
Hope that helps,
