Rep Power: 12 | No its different.. Rapidshare gives you http downloads and torrents are pc 2 pc. Try downloading utorrent and give some torrents site a try you will like it. (Utorrent is a torrent client you would need to run torrents on your pc.) Unlike rapidshare torrents can be resumed at a later time and you can even control the upload and download speeds. |

Rep Power: 12 | If you use utorrent then go to preferences and then bandwidth.. you can type in whatever values you want as max and even max number of connections. I wont advise you to stop uploading .. You can reduce the uploading speed to something more comfortable may be 70% of your uploading speed when idle. After all torrents are all about sharing and if every one stops uploading where would you download from? Quote:

Rep Power: 12 | After you are finished downloading and you remove the torrent file it wont upload after that... even if you stop the torrent from the client and dont delete the torrent it would still not upload. |

Rep Power: 6 | Yes, Decreasing the upload speed will increase download speed. But the new version of utorrent don't support it. Your downloading speed will also decrease for some reason. Don't know why. Its fine with the older version(1.7). |

Rep Power: 10 | It depends from ISP to ISP... Connection plan to connection plan... telephone exchange to exchange(in case of bsnl & mtnl)... Many factors affect ur speed... Only hit and trial method can give u a clear picture bout it... |

|  Torrent uses Peer to peer Networking... The advantage of peer to peer N/W is that the files are always present only in the peer's(seeder's , leecher's) system not in a server.... All files are present as packets...not as one whole file..... While Normal download managers download these packets sequentially ...Torrent uses a 'rarest first' algorithm to download these packets....And to keep track of these packets it assigns sequence no to each packet so that when downloaded ,these packets are assembled together like a jigsaw puzzle...This also helps torrents efficiently resume interrupted download Advantages ->No need of server hardware ->Multiple copies of the same file present(seeder's comp) ->Torrent creators win copyright cases by claiming that the Pirated files reside in User's system(Seeders) and as they are not hosting these files in servers they are not responsible for the circulation of these files  Wicked |

| You need atleast a dialup speed connection min would be around 3kbps I have experimented with slow connections ...i had no problem downloading files...ofcourse it would take a long time... And No ,you can also find >20mb files(ppt,videos,free music,Firefox,mobile softwares) if you r not obsessed with pirated software.... There is no recommended speed...Only the 'time taken for download' will be effected by your speed |
