If you're finding it a bit slow you might want to change the incoming port you are using. (Tools - options - connection and add a 1 to the listening port).
Port forwarding as described above is also something you should look at as it helped me.
Azureus is no slower than any other torrent program
Also note that with peer to peer downloading like torrents you will never get anywhere near like the speed of your braodband connection as you're governed by the upload speed set by the people you are downloading from. You're lucky if you ever get faster than 1 meg

I read a while ago that Azureus runs on Java, so may be slower than uTorrent on a slower or over-tasked computer, but they may have fixed that. I do believe that uTorrent may be faster. They are both the best. Try the uTorrent; you'll love it too. Remember, you cannot download any faster than the seed(s) and/or peer(s) can upload to you, and also no faster than your internet connection. The torrent will probably speed up as it runs a while. Also, movies are usually BIG, always take a while.

I used to use Azureus, then switched to BitTornado but by far the best for me is uTorrent.
Download speeds will depend on a number of factors.
If you are on a 1Mb Broadband line, downloading a lot of movie torrents at one time will saturate your bandwidth and the best way to deal with that is to download fewer files at one time.
You are also restricted as to the upload speed of the seeders. If they are not uploading fast enough, you will notice the speed fall off.
As a rule of thumb, decide which movie files are the most obscure (i.e. difficult to get) and concentrate on those. More recent files will stay around longer and you can go back to get them.
You may also be the subject of traffic shaping depending on your ISP. If your downloading matches torrent trends, they can throttle back on your speed. This is so a user does not max out their connection on a continual basis and allows other infrequent users the ability to enjoy the faster download speeds.

Yes Utorrent would be a pretty good choice as many isp's are ristricted p2p traffic so Utorrent has an encryption service in with it to stop you losing speed on downloads. i am sure Azeurus also has or had this bundled encryption aswell. try having a quick read on azeurus site or swap to utorrent.

I'm using utorrent at the moment and it's pretty good, mabey your downloads are a bit slow because you haven't forwarded your ports. Go to http://www.portforward.com for more information, it has a simple step by step guide.
