I think it's supposed to be approx 10-20 satoshis at the moment.

Actually, they're based on tx size. Fees are estimates as satoshis/byte. 10-20 satoshis is incredibly cheap

Ah right. Thanks for jogging my memory; been a while since I last researched this for an online debate about bitcoin ^_^

Looks like the top of the txn queue is 330 satoshis per byte, so for an average size txn of 226 bytes, you're paying 75k satoshis, or about 2 bucks! (according to bitcoinfees.21.co)
