Is Bit Torrent supposed to be quicker than a direct download?

OK so I went to Openoffice to download version 2.2.1 and thought I would 
try the bit torrent download.

It seemed to be steady at 24KB/s a second. So I canned it and went to 
the normal download link. Which is currently running at 160KB/s.

What is the advantage to bittorrent?
