What makes y'all torrent instead of DDL? I read in the megathread that DDL is less likely to get you caught, but a lot of people on here seem to really enjoy torrenting and I must be completely clueless as to why. I'd like to have your insights

Why would you have fast internet when torrenting but slow internet when direct downloading?

If you direct download at 20-30 MB/s even a 50 GB file will finish in 20-30 min then none of that stuff about pausing matters at all

    I made up that speed just to give an example. The thing about pausing/resuming is an advantage of torrents in general, for whoever needs it. Besides, when you download a file via DDL the speed also depends on the server thats sending, which is sometimes much slower than your download speed limit.
