I do believe that something is wrong with the setup. I get torrent connection speeds that vary wildly from 10KB/sec to about 200KB/sec. FTP gets me about 1380KB/sec.
For those of you outside the business arena and suffering speed issues, it may be that iptables is not accepting incoming requests on the right ports or ISP bandwidth throttling is biting you. With most bt clients, there's nothing stopping you from providing it a different port range (and some bt trackers actually require this) so that you can bypass any potential issues. I do this frequently if I notice a problem, and I was able to pull the DVD at around 700K/s, which is acceptable to me.
