I currently have Verizon DSL 5mbps down. How fast should i be able to download via torrents or newzbinz or whatever. I think my speed's too low for 5mbps because it only gets to about 90kb/s steady.

Your ISP might be throttling torrent downloads or the seeds are slow.

5mbps should be way more than 90kb/s do a speedtest and check, otherwise your ISP may be throttling you.

How fast should mine be?
24MBit dl.
I get 1.7MB/s sometimes, but not unless its from a very high-end tracker.
Should I be seeing it at 2.0MB/s?

you can test by it

5mbps down should get you around 600+kBs down and I have never heard that Verizon Fios throttles there customers, so I am guessing you just have not been lucky enough to jump on a fast seeding torrent.
But the best bet is for you to do a speedtest to check your speeds like it was stated above.
