340Mb in 5 minutes is around 140kB/s
Not very impressive at all :(
Of course if it was 340MB... :)

Why is it naughty? Not all torrents are illegal downloads. Many Linux or game distro's, along with some TV programmes such as Tim Hunkin's "Secret Life of......." series are freely available to download via torrents.

Wow, they are slow these days. They were quicker when I used them.
Be warned that they will throttle your connection to almost zero if you do that sort of thing during peak hours.
I now use SKY and torrents frequently exceed 1.7MB/s and the package is cheaper than Virgin for me. The Sky anytime+ programs download at about 1.8MB/s at all times that I have tried it.
