That doesn't sound right, unless the torrent device/s you're downloading from are congested/overloaded.
A 20 GB (Giga Bytes) file is about 171,798,691,840 bits (1 byte = 8 bits).
Download time will depend on your internet speed as well as other factors (network congestion, torrent device capacity, etc).
Assuming no congestion, then estimated times to download a 20 GB file at selected internet speeds are given below:
100 Mbps ~30 minutes
10 Mbps ~5 hours
1 Mbps ~48 hours
To speed things up, download to the hard drive of your computer (not to the USB), then unpack to the hard drive (up to 10 minutes depending on speed of computer). Once unpacked, copy the contents to the root of the USB drive.
Also, if downloading 2019 maps, make sure you've generated the correct FSC Code for 2019 (or alternatively, generated a Lifetime code)
