I assume internet is fast in your location. Depends on what you consider to be 'fast'. Is 120K/s fast? Wouldn't a torrent file allow a a download that was quite a bit faster than the 120 K/s?
Bittorrent only helps with a slow server. If the limit is in the client's bandwidth, then connecting to multiple servers... Hmm. Normal HTTP streamed from multiple servers shouldn't be much different (That is, if it takes an hour to download 1GB from one server, it should take about an hour to download 4 250MB chunks from four servers), but because bittorrent downloads relatively small chunks, there will be a lot of setup and tear down of connections, so might actually end up slower.
