I cannot speak for all but at least in some instances if the upload speed is set to nothing the upload speed actually becomes just the opposite; zero being code for "unlimited speed" rather than "nothing".
Despite my admission above of inexperience with them all
I would not be surprised if the common ones are all much the same, the idea is to contribute.
And extrapolating from that, the more one throttles the upload speed the lower ones priority for being served so download slows.
(For the sake of good order among others, I will just add that, despite common belief, bittorrent clients are not just used for pirating copyrighted material.)
