If it stays at 20kbps you're looking at about 2 weeks
At 256Kb it would take 317 hrs 42mins 30secs, so 13 and a quarter days.

I'd select a couple of eps at a time to download. No point downloading it all in one go.

Depends where you are getting it from as most of the torrent sites i use they say on the screen where you click download what info is in the package.
What client are you using?

Why not subscribe to a Usenet provider for a few days? Download at full speed.

It would be easier to ask someone to burn them to a few disks for you and send them in the post
