I'm about ready to just call it a night.

I hate massive files with one zero seeds.

You got any problems with torrents or ever had?

Currently downloading Star Trek: Deep Space 9 err... Something that is legal to download.

I downloaded Season 1 and 2 at the same time... Season 2 was pretty fast while Season 1 was slow as heck. I had tons of Season 2 episodes to watch, but I couldn't, as I prefer to watch the episodes in order.

Currently downloading Season 3 and 4... Season 4 is a bit faster. :/

Hm. I'm seeing a pattern here... Are the even seasons more popular? O_o

I've been trying to get, um, Metal Gear Solid 3 of all things. Massive size. Snake Eater is about 3-4GB, 6GB on two-disc Subsistence, or like 12GB for the rare limited edition because of it's bonus content.

I'm going for normal Subsistence so far. The only decent tracker I could find having that limited edition one, wants registration.

No, because I know how to use the Internet

Yes, it's happened to me too... Massive files with incredibly slow download speeds. And then, of course, there's the files that are almost finished when someone stops seeding.

Think that's a bitch? Try downloading Transformers. Every goddamn torrent stops at 90.6

Torrents can be fast, but then they can be horribly slow, when I was trying to download Armored Core 2, it took days because the seeds kept leaving, they were only online for maybe 2 hours of each day, and there weren't that many to begin with. Though honestly, I usually have more trouble finding an active torrent than I do downloading it.

I'm warning you, downloading huge TV series at once is dangerous.

I found myself impersonating... certain characters after awhile at the most weird moments.

I know that, having downloaded Tiny Toon Adventures last week, it had a real slow beginning, but after 1 downloaded Gigabyte and the 70% mark I had about 200kb/s download. It finished some when on Sunday evening.

Of course every goddamn seed you get disconnects because they realize "oh crap I'm uploading".

Or at least it's that way for me.

Be prepared to wait seven days for Working Model 2D if you ever wanna get it via torrent. (It's a physics toy )

My worst torrent experience has got to be downloading Gran Turismo 2. Dear God, it took me like 20 hours on road runner. dlding anime is comparable to that, but that's because the anime torrents were like 4 GB at a time (I have HD space issues) and GT2 was like 650M.

Luckily, I'm a member of the exclusive invite-only music download site, OINK.

So that means I can usually download a 700mb~ album in lossless *.FLAC format in about...ohh, say...20 minutes.

Free Lossless Audio Compression, dude. WAVs are uncompressed; FLACs are compressed, but lossless.
