The 14kB/s on the title bar of bitcomet is your Gross download. This includes all tasks, as well as overhead, such as communication with trackers, peers, LTseeds and bitcomet services.

With such a low bandwidth connection, I strongly recommend you disable any of this you don't need. I would disable all the services, dht, peer exchange, logging into bitcomet passport. These features can help you to download faster, but you will already get as much as you can handle using only bittorrent peers, and using bandwidth to record your stats, look of mirror locations, and other services are really pointless to you.

This would depend on your ability to upload. I know dial-up service speed limits used to be a combined limit, of both up and down, but honestly I haven't tried to use a dial-up connection in over ten years, so I'm not sure how its determined now. However, usually you want to use 80% of your available upload to send data, leaving 20% for overhead, so your communications are quick. However if your upload tests faster because its testing your total bandwidth, that throws all the calculations out the window. So, if your sure your total upload and download combined is the limit you speak of, then you might want to try 40%, but if you do have separate upload and download like 99% of us, then you want 80%. Remember, the more you upload, the more download you will get, but if your upload is all used sending data, then your peer communications will be so slow that by the time you reply to one, that peers offer to trade would be long expired, causing you to only waste more bandwidth negotiating deals you can never complete. The bottom line is, you need to workout what works best for your connection, these are only guidelines for a place to start.

I hope this helps.
