Torrent speed depends upon the combined donated bandwidth of
participants.  Works great when you have a large pool of peers and
seeders. Too few participants and you might be downloading at 3K-4K
bit/sec or waiting forever to get the last piece of a file.  Speed
also drops off dramatically after the initial availability/offering of
a file.
