Which ISP? Bell has apparently started packet-shaping for bittorrent downloads, so that could explain it, depending on if they're your isp and when you noticed the slow-down.
Peer guardian = firewall? I'm assuming you've made sure the appropriate ports aren't being blocked by it and/or the OS X firewall and/or your router.
I actually haven't tried Transmission yet. I've been happy with my rates lately in Azureus, although the thing is a total system resource hog.
