Why file sharing sites instead of torrnets?

[Zambieslar]

Honest question, it seems a little counter intuitive if you have gigabit internet and have a file sharing site slow you down unless you pay. Besides if i was gonna spend money, well... you know. Why are we using file sharing sites instead of torrents?

We are a DDL site and not a torrent site and they can get you into trouble if not careful.

I use alldebrid and it covers alot of site that I can download as premium user.
You get get 90 service for around $10 US.

Others like realdebrid and have used them also and works well also.

https://real-debrid.com/

Best bang for your buck IMO.

Fair question. There are advantages and disadvantages to each method.

File Hosts at DW
We use fast hosts.
File hosts are legally safe.
Also almost always free from malware.
You can report any problems or PM the uploader.
You can request a file you can't find.

Torrents
They can be, though not always are, fast. But…
You can only download if there are seeders, not always the case.
You can get in to serious legal trouble downloading directly.
To avoid the above, you have to subscribe to a VPN service, so they are not really free. And for a similar cost you could have alldebrid for hosts as per previous post.
They have been known to contain malware.
Unless you belong to a private torrent tracker, you can't request or complain. And if you do belong, you have to fulfill onerous seeding continually.

Torrents are risky and expose you and get into trouble. Like twncam said in his post. I don't trust them and will never use them.

Guess everyone has already said why.....saves me going through it

I wouldn't touch torrents with someone elses VPN because that rarely matters, ISPs monitor the amount your download/upload and when you visit torrents...not risks you want to take

Others already summed it up.However Heres my 2cents,
Torrents are an ecosystem that collapse becuase of leechers. Public trackers nearly always die look at the piratebay forum cobwebs.
I Get Torrents Through The private trackers i participate in. Join one if you prefer torrents. Also I dont bother with a VPN becuase South africa. DDL bypasses the need for a VPn in most cases as your ISP doesnt know what you getting nor do they care to look. DDL is Also way faster Most of The time. Especially With a RealDebrid. In a Public Warez bored offering torrents is pointless as Those who want the the slower 1 seeder torrent probably wont seed it anyway.

TLDR Join a Private Tracker or Just Use The DDL. I Frequent TorrentLeech, IPTorrents, GazelleGames, alpharatio, redacted(dont bother and just soulseek )

careful.

I use alldebrid and it covers alot of site that I can download as premium user.

Yea, another vote for Alldebrid, been using them since 2012. I just get the 300 day package, little cheaper and less bother.

i use all debrid, real debrid, torrents, usenet, ripping my own media.....whatever tickles my fancy for the day......but most people dont have the WIT to use the internet correctly without getting in trouble.

Both RD and AD allow you to get torrent files. They get the torrent so your IP is never exposed. After they get the torrent, they upload it to a file host for you to download from. Easy-peasy.

Thank you every one for your reply's. It's nice to have more information on these things, and I'm glad that you guys are way more knowledgeable than I am haha!

 

[DammagedAgain]

1. Reason I don't use torrents
They still actually hand deliver court documents to your front door!

Wait they do what now?
