Any experienced torrenters here? For me a torrent took like 3 days for a 4 Gigabyte movie, I had like 1 slow ass peer at a time.

    I had one that only had 1 seeder and they were only online for like 20 minutes a day. Took over a month to finish that torrent. I think it was like 35GB for a complete series of a hard to find show.

    So annoying waiting for that torrent to get to 100%.

      20 minutes a day

      Wow did he have some automation that restarted his computer daily? Amazing that the torrent finished for you!

      I also have one that is sitting 50% and it has been sitting there for days. I think people should be honest about torrenting, its obvious. The experience can be hit and miss, some seeders have very slow connection, and break all the time (intentionally)?
