Jingthing Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Just curious about usage patterns. Decided not to get technical about this as far as upload/download statistics per day and also not asking about what kinds of torrents.

bangkokrick Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I voted 'occasionally'. I down loaded 2 torrents yesterday and that was the first time in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I expect the great majority of responses/votes will only be from torrent users of some degree. Most others who don't use torrents or know little to nothing about them will just skip over this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Somethng running every night, during my un-capped time, plus a seedbox to keep the ratios up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWalkingMan Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 For me it depends mostly on the US television season. At most I will run 7/8 torrents per week for US tv shows. Most of the shows I like are on break until the new season, so maybe I will download something once or twice a week. TheWalkingMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffy D Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I use Torrents every day Now that we only have local channels on our TV, I download UK TV programs during the day to watch in the evenings. Edited June 29, 2011 by Daffy D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWalkingMan Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 One more thing, once you become accustomed to watching downloads with the commercials cut, you will go crazy when watching a full US broadcast of an hour show. A one hour episode is actually about 41-42 minutes of show and 18-19 minutes of commercials. Last week I watched a stream of a US channel and it drove me nuts with a commercial break every 7-8 minutes. That cannot be good for the attention span.

TheWalkingMan Sooooo true Torrents are running most of the time to watch running series or 1/2 years old movies WITHOUT commercial!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
