I haven't ever completed one so I'll ask you...
Then I'll ask you back. What size? From what website? What genre of files? Which client?
Its not just the type of torrent client you have, but it also depends on how many other torrent users are available to seed/leech with your client on the torrent file your trying to extract, the more users/computers available, the faster the downloading.
READ. MY. POST.
I did mention that "From what site". >_>
that means old torrents will probably be useless O_O i know...
But now i have so many things!!
It really depends. For like a new popular episode of an anime on my DSL takes about half an hour.
An episode can take about half an hour or more, depending on the health (peers and seeders) of the torrent. Torrent batches may take up to 1 hour to even three days to complete, depending on the size.
For instance, a torrent batch of 26 episodes is about 5 GB. THAT will probably take about 20 hours or more with a speed 40kB/s. Sometimes I get 100kB/s and it just takes me about 10 hours or less complete. Or my download rate suffers and I get 20kB/s, which will probably take over 30 hours to complete. But the rate of my download is always changing. It can be 40kB/s to 50kB/s to 5kB/s in a few minutes.
It all really depends on the torrent, see?
Oh, yeah. The more you upload, the more you download. You can't download anymore when you already completed the file, obviously.
Ok I just finished MY FIRST bit torrent thingie:
[WPP]Rockman.EXE_the_Movie_-_Hikari_to_Yami_no_PROGRAM[0D3AC681].avi
(352.75 MB)
2,973.517 Gb
69.28 KB/sec
Thanks for all the responses.
WPP is one of the worst group out there -.-"
man, i completed countless torrent downloads.
DLed over 50 GB of things off torrent.
Can you PLEASE tell me the url.
Of what?
I thought DLed was a website.
...
DLed is short for Downloaded.
Yeah I figured it out kinda late...so I didn't want to say.
I used to belong to www.bitmetv.com but they disable your account if you don't visit for a month or so.
I got an ep of the Daily Show in 2 minutes (About 175MB). If there are enough uploaders, it will saturate your connection. The fastest I can DL something is 500kb/sec.
