I've done the torrent, and left it running, but from what I see, you
and I must be the only ones seeding the torrent ATM.  If a few more
folks could restart their clients, I'm sure the average dl speed would
go up considerably.  My dl ended up at about 22k/second even though my
client did show 5 others then.  Its now down to this in the last few
minutes:

saving:         FC4.2-i386
file size:      2,816,667,648 (3 GiB)
percent done:   100.0
time left:      seeding
download to:    /usr/FC4/FC4.2-i386
download rate:  0.0 KB/s
upload rate:    0.0 KB/s
share rating:   oo  (841.2 MB up / 0.0 MB down)
seed status:    0 distributed copies (next: 1:0.0%)
peer status:    0 seen now

Which makes me think everyone has given up.

I don't believe this is how bittorrent is supposed to work.
