Do you mean on this site or on your client.
If on this site:
Local means that the torrent is tracked by Hongfire.com tracker.
Remote means that the torrent is tracked by an offsite tracker, not by Hongfire.com tracker.

It really depend on the tracker itself and other factors, whether it's remote or local. Some trackers might be slower than Hongfire tracker. Others might be faster.
Torrent in remote tracker with lots of seeders/leechers will usually resulted in faster downloading. Torrent in local tracker with few seeders/leecher might resulted in slower download, unless the seeder has a high-speed connection. This can also happen vice-versa.
