Why use torrents? With torrents I get around 25Kb/sec.

Sounds like something is throttling your torrent connection. Start by using a non-standard torrent port to escape traffic shaping by naive throttles.

With places such as utah.edu [I am in North America] I got
320Kb/sec steady. It took me 3hr and a bit to download the 5.1
dvd. As far as I understand it, Utah and the other mirrors donated
the bandwidth to the community.

Torrents have the benefit of sharing the cost over many community contributors.
