Can others reach your listening ports? Check that your firewall allows the 
connection and, you're behind a NAT router, that the ports get forwarded to 
your host.

If others can't reach your listening ports, then the only traffic you get 
is from peers you've connected to, which will artificially limit the size 
of the swarm you can reach. (Some other peers will be behind NAT routers 
that you can't reach, because they didn't' forward ports, and those sources 
will be unavailable to you unless they contact you first.)
