How should we set the connection limits?

The situation is that, sometimes I allow for 2, 3 extra torrents to start because the current torrents are at a slow speed anyways, and my whole network can start to get jammed and nothing can go through, including Amazon or YouTube.
So how should we set the following? (the numbers are my settings now)
Is the 60 above trying to limit that, so, 6 torrents, and say if each one has 60 connections, then it is 360 connections? Would that jam up the whole Internet provider router?
I mean, should we work with a number that is below 200 or 180, if the maximum connections my ISP router can only handle 256 connections or would that be 512 connections or what number is a common number of maximum connections?
Is it just more robust if we set it to:
I also have Wireless Router, Wireless Access Point for downstairs, and an Ethernet Gigabit Switch, do the come into play regarding this number?
So how should we set the following? (the numbers are my settings now)
- Global maximum number of connections: 280
- Maximum number of connections per torrent: 60
- Global maximum number of upload slots: 12
- Maximum number of upload slots per torrent: 3
