when u select connection type PPPoE, do ny options provided below or on the other tabs of setup change.try googlin how to setup PPPoE connection on DD-WRT. i hv personally never used that firmware before.torrents do work with the PPPoE connection on ADSL modem & sharing net on the wifi router. u also get the same speed as u would get if u were directly connected to the ADSL router. a friend of mine uses it like that. he has no problem with the torrents.
