i just checked again, the version is the correct one. i have it running here on two machines since last night and it works well.

yes, this version contains a static wx. i think it should therefore not matter if you have other versions of wx installed on your system -- kry can you confirm this?
kry raised an important point: this version won't automatically give you astronomic download speeds, since a number of other factors are relevant as well (your connection settings, availabilities of files, etc.)
i got enormous speeds (75k/s) with this version primarily because i've been uploading at 20k/s for month to clients of a specific community. that gave me a gigantic amount of credits with those people. when i now download other stuff i do get download rates that are much better than before but not necessarily super high.
you can see the effect of the fix in the much more constant download rates. before, most connections would only last for a minute or so and then get terminated. now, there are still some connections that don't last very long (-> tickle uploads) but the majority of connections should last *much* longer than before.
so in summary, even with the new version you still need to make your way through the queues of other clients which may take a little at the beginning. but once you made your way through a queue and the download starts you should get a decent amount of data and not just 300k per connection as before.
