Well, in theory BT makes it easier to get good download rates. In 
reality, using BT is like downloading anything else; sometimes you get 
good speeds, and sometimes you don't. It depends what you're trying to 
download. (E.g., try obtaining some old version of Debian. You'll find 
it has, like, 3 seeds and no other clients, and it still takes weeks to 
download. Try getting the latest version and you should have no 
trouble.) It's not much different than the variable download rates 
single servers provide.

PS. Why is it that all known motherboard manufacturers can't serve 
driver downloads at more than 2 KB/sec??
