I'm afraid I have tried one or two different Bit Torrent clients. All have been painfully slow. I gave up on them when SuSE 10 was going to take 8 weeks to download!!!! I'm on 2mb BB too. I FTP'd it in a few hours.
Torrent? What Torrent, they're having a laugh :-)))
It is not BitTorrent (the protocol) or the particular client software that are slow, it's just the particular torrent you're trying to receive or, more precisely, the hosts which make it available at the moment, the available or allocated bandwidth they provide and the competition from other receiving BitTorrent clients for that torrent.
I've seen very high throughputs (up to the limit of my 6 megabit-per-second inbound DSL link).
