Back when I grabbed Whitebox via BT several weeks ago, I got 150KB/s,
which was the limit of my DSL.

I find BT works extremely well for large software distribution. The more
people the better. If there is no one but the original seed available,
well, no worse than downloading from them directly. Of course, if they're
really slow, that might be worse than a mirror (who doesn't participate in
the torrent).
