I faced a similar issue few months back but when I reinstalled the BitTorrent client on Windows, the problem was solved. Not sure what was the actual issue...

Yes, that feature sounds nice!

have you found a way to block these ads by any chance? these ads are really annoying and I am being retargeted for crazy advertisements.

I guess your ISP has blocks placed that are limiting your download speeds while using torrents. I faced a similar a while back and when I asked my ISP, they totally denied it (obviously). The way around for me was with a VPN but it was difficult to find one that allowed torrents. However, it did reveal that my ISP was limiting my speeds.
