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.

Yes indeed I am downloading a 14.5 gb file ... would that be possible with rapidshare? I leave utorrent running through the night and I normally get about 2-2.5 gb through the night on this sify conection...

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?

Please keep your warez ideas away from this forum... its your own privat thing you can do whatever you want but please do not discuss it here as this is not the place for that sort of discussions.

Thanks

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.
