Downloading as suggested with BitTorrent seems to be faster than "normal" download (even with a segmenting download manager), and the concept is great.
However the speed, at least for me, didn't start at 20kB/s and went up. Instead it started around 10, then dropped to 2-5, and from then on it's constantly chaging anywhere from 2 to 30.
I'm not sure if this temporary or normal, and as I said it's faster than downloading from the overloaded servers, however adjust your expectations to more realistic figures.
EZ.
