I haven't been following the bittorrent development cycle, however here is
what I just observed:

With bittorrent-3.2.1 installed, I was only able to climb to about 20Kbyte/s
after about a minute. I aborted the download, installed bittorrent-3.3 and I
now see (within a few minutes):

file:     severn2-binary-iso
size:     1,959,821,887 (1.8 GB)
dest:     /part/storage/mark/redhat/severn2/iso/severn2-binary-iso
progress: #######___________________________________________________________
status:   finishing in 1:37:18 (12.3%)
speed:    321.9 KB/s down -  63.6 KB/s up
totals:   228.2 MB   down -  45.8 MB   up

Are you using 3.3?
