I don't know about your leecher side of things, but certainly from an upload view, BT is much nicer.

I am only behind a residential DSL @ 384kbps up. I have no access to fast bots myself, and if I did, I'd still have to upload the file to the bot. In that amount of time, and the same amount of bandwidth, the world could have the file. Thus, I use BT. Of course, all the leechers promptly complain that they are only getting 18kB/s.

The leechers don't see the time lag between encoding complete/predistro and announce, because the groups release later, when distro is all ready.
