Well, yes, if you use torrent softwares, especially Bitcomet, you'll find that you download a lot more than the required file size.
However, downloading 5 times is something that is not possible. Maybe you downloaded all the files in the torrent instead of a specific file.

I feel torrents are the best p2p network available, much reliable & secure than the normal p2p softwares.
