speedtest question

Hey guys, i was wondering if a router or wires could effect down/up speeds? I,m in the process of trying to squeeze out every bit of speed out of utorrent. I followed the guide to correctly setting up utorrent and my router and that helped me get from 50 kB/s download and 60kB/s upload to 1.5 MB/s and 280 kB/s, respectively. I,ve found i can get even better results form the qos in my router and giving utorrent the highest priority, but it was at the expense of raping all other computers connected to my router. I think i hit the ceiling for my set up. The only question i wasn't sure of was whether or not the hardware i have is holding ne thing back. My router is a cisco wrt54gl (the one everyone on the planet seems to have :) ) and im using cat5e wires. Are there better routers, for what im try to do, out there? Would i see a difference with cat6?

I,ve read post after post about dd-wrt( i think thats what its called) firmware and tomato firmware being AWESOME. Is that really case?

Thanks
