Torrents are trouble. Avoid them, if practical. Your ISP may be
throttling them, although I can't see what difference the version of
Ubuntu would make.
However, if a Windows client works, then ask yourself if you need Linux
for other things, or whether Windows will suit your needs. (I have two
machines at home, one with Win, one with Debian Squeeze (testing). The
Win machine is set up for those rare times when Debian isn't right for
the job.)
I think you may not be sure about what we mean by stable/unstable. The
Stable distribution is suitable for most needs, but may not be the most
up-to-date. Unstable is the place where new programs, or new versions
of programs, enter the Debian world. In between is Testing, where
things reside after they've had some use and are appearing to be
"stable" (by your meaning). The Testing distribution is destined to
become the new Stable in the fullness of time. Squeeze is the code name
for the current Testing. Sid is the perpetual code name for Unstable.
