I just wouldn't expect anything marvellous from torrents anyway. The best I ever had for one torrent was 4.5MB. An aggregate speed from 6 good torrents gave me 10MB, just once. Most of the time I don't expect better than 0.5MB from any one torrent. Poorly seeded torrents can be way below this.

In any case I think it is pointless and anti-social to use torrents heavily during peak periods. I only run mine at night. For my own security I use BTGuard, which slows torrents down still further, but adds to my peace of mind.

To me the whole point of having 100Mb/120Mb is the use of capacity for multiple apparatus and persons across a large house. Fast torrenting is way down my list especially when all but the largest files download whilst I sleep.
