How long?
« on: September 18, 2008, 12:01:54 PM »
How long does it take you guys to download a 6-8gb file through a torrent?  It's taking forever with me and I can't figure out why.

It's taking forever because you're downloading it from OTHER PEOPLE. They upload it (seed) when they're done downloading and leave it open. The more seeders the faster it is (depending on your internet speed at this point).

At least that's how I think it is...

well whenever you select your torrent i would recommend you set it to from the most seeders to the least and then choose the torrent with the most seeders.

IT wouldn't be with a torrent.

even if you airmailed it to me in the uk and it gets lost in heathrow (like everything does) it would still be quicker than d/ling it.
