When I can use tvtorrents they generally go up to speeds of 200+kbs but if i use other torrent sites it wont go any faster than 5kbs? can someone help me out here?

It all depends on a buncha variables (ie distance from server, local internet useage, etc).

Careful though...P2Ps are legal, while sharing copywrite stuff isn't...and we can't help ya if its illegal...
