chinch;1762830 said:i understand your position, but there is a little more involved, especially when ISPs & workplaces throttle and severely limit torrenting. To get the 4.4gb file you essentially have to upload at least a few GB yourself to others.
One single Upload to binary newsgroups would be a quicker transfer than torrenting, since you split/par the files which also allows repair for incompletes. 4 quarters, each 1.1 GB is marginally difficult to share.
the obvious advantage is one upload, then unlimited downloads and no isp/work blocking.
again, it's obvious you are not going to do that but just an FYI if anyone reading had such an inclination cowboy fans worldwide would greatly appreciate.
True but I have a max upload of 80k a sec. With torrent there is probably a total of 2-5MB once you factor in all the users.
Bear in mind this is not my rip it is from another site. I am simply downloading it like everyone else.
4.4GB Newsgroup post will get deleted and flagged once the traffic goes through the roof.
I would not download stuff like this from work. Home ISP's do not block torrents.
