I just find it weird that speedtest results will be relatively normal but torrenting speed has become so poor.

I'm interested in your suggestion that shaw doesn't have the infrastructure to do so. Why do you say that?
I don't know if they do either, and I was suspicious of throttling for a long time with Shaw. However, last night I got a torrent that came down in 5.6/mbps. That is a new torrent record for me, so I am not so sure if they do any more, or at least not right across the board.
