Is it possible to download A torrent file completely and quickly with no uploading, and then after seed the file to be uploaded by other users?

I'm finding that the downloading process is incredibly slow while downloading some torrent file with incredibly high upload rates. Is it possible to speed up the downloading rate by cutting off uploading completley until the file has been completely downloaded??
