meh, depends on your ISP. Mine has a 200 gb cap per month for downloading and they don't shape torrent traffic, so im pretty much good to go
u'll piss off ur using using my isp they will limit ur torrent speed to 1-5kbps then sending u an email about they have "notice" you using torrent downloading legal stuff. i cant do much on torrent accept register a paid account for VPN service which adds more cost to internet :-/
torrents for large bulk dls (like drama+ anime+ music) ddl for everything else =D But i hate it wen i use DDL for programs or wii/pc/psp games!! cause they freaking break the file up into like 40 diff rar files and since i dont have a VIP account for rapidshare and etc i cant dl em all at once...
TORRENT TORRENT TORRENT its so much better. no restriction on how many to download at once. easier to manage. Evyerone helps out. i get 500kb/s + DDL is very slow if you're not are premiun user. i only get 50kb/s from sendspace and megaupload. :(
i like torrent beczu 99% illegal stuff are on torrent.. so only 1% of legal stuff is on direct download..
DDL because I can never be bothered to wait for seeders. Plus, awesome speed with MU (@ 300kb/s) and RS (@200kb/s), though their limit (and the cat thing) sucks majorly. That's why sometimes I love blogs which hosts their files on Mediafire and Zshare (unlimited download, though definitely slower than MU and RS)
I don't mind either but usually, I go for DDL on sites like MiHD because the speeds are insane even though the server's far away. Torrents become annoying when there's very little seeders and peers and yeah. Sometimes there are leechers, which makes it even worse.
I prefer torrents when the file is above 50MB. with DDL,it takes a lot of time as well as opening a lot of links in order to completely download it. Problem with torrent is that less seeders tends to become too slow on download. It very greatly on seeders
i dont like torrent and don't use torrent to dl unless there is no other choice cos it some times takes sooooooo long to dl when your just sitting there waiting for it to be completed
i like both torrents & ddl.....both speed usually hit like +900kbps, and even 1.5mbps for ddl.. and esp the function persistent seeders.....very handy when the torrent almost have no seeders at all (and no ddl)....i still manage too get it 100% complete....that totally rocks! only one thing...........i cant use them both at the same time -,- too mantain the max speed, its either one of them..zzz
Depending on the site you get your torrent. DDL can be very troublesome too. Sometimes it get stuck after 5+% download then you will have to re do all over again. Any suggestion on good Asian sites to pick up old mover torrent ?
I personally prefer ddl (rapidshare)...torrent are very slow for me..like 12kb/s...takes days and days to finish downloading something.
i like both. i just discovered torrents recently and they're great for downloading big files, like movies. all you have to do is let is dl in the background, and it doesn't slow down the computer. so you kind of forget about it and don't have to be impatient about it. and yeah its great when there are a lot of seeders. it sucks when it's an old file though. that's the only bad thing. ddl are good when you want to quickly dl something. but it sucks when you have to dl one at a time, or when there are limits like on stupid rapidshare. or sometimes the link expires due to inactivity or something.
DDL are great *thumbs up* one reason I stay with PA but again torrents aint so bad either~ .. :S I leave my comp on thru the night for torrents DDLs for me is dl, watch, dl, watch ... more convienent in a way
He probably just reset his router or w/e to change his IP or he's using a premium link generator site. He didn't "hack" it. Believe me, it takes no effort on his part. You need to properly configure your BT client as well as choosing good torrents.
