You probably started too early (when not enough people were on BT) and
didn't wait enough (BT picks up speed rather slowly).

See my Yarrow BT downloads in the attached file - the first peak is the
binary ISOs, the second one is the sources.
The plateau is the bandwidth cap enforced by my ISP.

Probably anyone doing BT right now has tremenduous speed.
