The torrent presents a even more interesting picture when comparing 
number of downloads of Fedora Core 6 with previous releases.

70.0 KB/s as the average download speed seems a bit slow to me {i  
have a nominal 4megabit download line and i could configure my network}

Does that means people are not using bittorrent enough ?

Not necessarily.  There are many reasons why a given individual might be
getting poor BitTorrent performance.

On the flip side, I've been distributing FC6 via BitTorrent since the
release, from a system with a full 1 Gbps connection into the Net.  I
currently have BitTorrent's outgoing bandwidth utilization capped at a mere
40 Mbps, but it's never even hit that limit.  Outgoing throughput peaked at
around 30 Mbps during the first 24 hours after release, and it's been steady
around 10-12 Mbps ever since.
