Ok so it appears theres a problem with the wireless usb device I was using, Ralink RT2573 (rum). I've tried it on two seperate OpenBSD laptops with the same result with torrents. I'm now wired in through a 3Com 3C905C (xl) and it works perfectly. I went from 22 peers to having 60 (the default limit in Transmission) and speeds are much faster and not intermittent.
