You can not judge your connection on torrents for a start as it also depends on how many people are sharing and speed they are sharing at.
Also I believe it is 2mb per minute rather than kbs, if you are worried about your speed try the broadband speed test that think broadband provide. Also is that cable or through the phoneline?

When I was on Telewest (now Virgin) on 2Mbit I was getting 220K/sec or there abouts.
