Agree, speeds will reach around 50 to 56kb/s; never 60kb/s or over though. (streamyx 512k user too.)

mine some fresh torrent could reach 100+kB/s speed, on streamyx 1mbps line.

normal will be around 50kB/s, while there is also some that around 10-20kB/s but rarely happen

on build 8205 now

Thanks for sharing and the updates..
