Users are probably banning you from downloading from them. Use a proper BitTorrent client for torrents. uTorrent and Vuze (Azureus) come to mind.

Edit: Just saw you use OS X, so Vuze it is. uTorrent does not run very well on OS X.

BTW another problem could arise if you are downloading the same torrent and connecting to eachother. You might be downloading from eachother so fast that the harddrive can keep up.

That would be remedied by using a proper client and setting max up/downspeed to what your drives can handle
