    If you tried downloading this from a VERY fast server you might get a sustained 150kb/s download speed ~5000 secs or close to 1 and half hour.

    However. If you use torrent (and this is no joke) you may easily get up to 600kb/s downloading speed whenever a seed is close by.

    Finally torrent downloads in chunks, so any estimate is rough to say the least.
    No.

    Even using all the tricks to get more speed out of torrents, my download speed has never gotten anywhere near 50kb/s, much less the levels in your baseless claim about the supposed superiority of torrents.

    It says 23 hours now.

    It's nothing new. I'm paying for a 5mb/s cable connection and in the afternoon and evening it's usually slower than my old 56k was.
