You let the service download the slow torrent over night and then use a fast download from their servers to transfer it to your computer. This way you don't have to have a running computer in your room all that time.


Hmm, I forgot that not all people have a computer running 24/7. I haven't seen many slow torrents, but I guess they exist. Thanks for the explanation!


And more and more these days you are using a mobile device where torrents aren't an option.


Try TransDroid if you have a pc with a torrent client on, it's amazing.
