Hey, I noticed a lot of ppl posting rapidshare links and direct download links. Would u guys also download bittorrents or is that too much of a hassle?

This should go in the "General and Discussion" board.

I moved this to Questions and Suggestions, and for now, we are not using torrent files.

Eh? I can see the rationale for not encouraging them, but I fail to see the rationale for banning them entirely.

Care to elaborate a little?

We'd need a private torrent site, otherwise it wouldn't add anything to this site.

Later, we will have our own private FCS tracker. But not any time soon. :P

I all ready download from various torrent sites.
I like torrents cause you can stop the download and continue the download later without any problems.

Most stuff what I will upload are files I downloaded from torrent sites.
I private tracker in the future would be very cool, aslong people keep seeding

The problem with Torrents is the low download speeds. It might just be me but in order to reach 50kb/s or more on a perticular torrent there needs to be 500+ hosts, which is not going to happen while FcS is small.

It really depends on how much the seeders and leechers are letting you download, and how much the leechers are grabbing, I regularly get over 800KB/s on less then 20 seeders.
