Thanks guys! This was helpful. I shall certainly check out Azureus, as mentioned by DaveT. It was also good to get the port range confirmed. The download speed must have increased quite a lot after a went to bed, since it was done 7 hours later, rather than the estimated 60.
Note that if a file is freshly-seeded, not many peers would have enough pieces of the file that you can download multiple parts of the file in parallel. So it's not surprising to see a slow initial download rate.
