Yeah lol. When I we first got wired internet at home (about 15 years ago), the speeds weren’t good. It averaged around 120 KBPS for browsing the internet. But the guy installing the connection told me that torrents went up to 10 MBPS easily, and he wasn’t lying. Before that, I didn’t understand that torrent worked in a fundamentally different way compared to direct downloads.
It was in India. I won’t be surprised if the situation is still similar. (I mean the attitude towards piracy. The speeds are pretty good nowadays.)

Torrents still work fine here. Speeds are good too.
