Downloading from one-click hosters such as uploaded or keep2share is easily possible with speeds exceeding 50 MB/s. When using a download manager (i.e. multiple concurrent downloads, with, say, 6 connections), I can max out a Gigabit (i.e. 117 MB/s) from these hosters. The same holds for Debian and Fedora mirror servers. For torrents, the ramp-up typically takes too long, i.e. at the time when you got enough peers to max out your line, the file is already downloaded :).
