Yes, it will probably increase as time goes by and more people have it. My own download is currently fluctuating between as low as 15 and up to 35 (first beta, which I got after 2 days or so only, I was up at 130+ for download).
Also, try experimenting with the speed setting. It will basically not affect the download, but the slower you set it, the lower the upload will be and if you are hitting the limit on your connection, that will free up room for download. Personally I will not hit the limit I have as far as I can forsedd (that would be megabyte rates on my own end) so I have just set it up as fast as possible and is sharing (when I left home) at 80+kb/s. I think that for someone that does NOT hit the bandwith limit (or pay per ammount of data or so), the fastest possible option should be set since that helps improving download speeds over time.

There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
