It is only fast at the beginning, when there are a lot of torrent
downloaders, and the available "classic" mirrors are also too busy. As to
the open connections, you can configure a lower limit. For instance, I
used:
btdownloadcurses --spew 1 --max_upload_rate 25 --max_allow_in 12 file.torrent
which allows only 12 incoming connections, as my output bandwidth is only
30, and those 60 would get only a droplet from me.
