I pulled all 5 cd iso's and the 75mb rescue cd iso yesterday from the optusnet mirror at full adsl speed (approx 150kb/s on 1.5m/256 adsl).
On my home connection using 512/128 adsl I'm still waiting for the DVD ISO over bit torrent. At 8:00 am (+24 hours on torrent) this morning it was about 68% complete. I think the torrent speed will improve once the share ratio increases. In the mean time use a local mirror directly.

You're right. It's taking forever. And it's going to be even slower as the word gets around for the next couple or eight weeks. I remember Fedora Core 4 created a traffic jam for 4 weeks. But since then there are a lot more mirror sites. The name Fedora is itched in many minds that it's like coffee we can't do without it. I tried to start pulling ISO #2. The connection seems to take forever even just to connect. I give up. Normally, I can pull one entire Fedora ISO CD in 4 to 5 hours. I'll wait a week or two. I have everything I need on Fedora Core 4 at this time. Keep trying.
