That's about right for the first day on the torrent.  Not a huge base of 
people have it all, so you are running into a "psuedo" limit on who has what 
pieces.  Over the next day or two, you should start seeing some much higher 
speeds.

However, I got em at 130k, fairly constant.  But then, my machine has raw 
ports 6881-6999 from the internet ( port forwarding ), so I get better 
"karma" with the downloads/uploads.  :)

Hope that helps
