It just all comes down to these factors though: 1. How many seeders there are. 2. How many seeders are not firewalled. 3. How many seeders are near in your location and has a high speed. 4. How your firewall is configured. 5. How high your ratio is. 6. How fast your actual connection to the internet is. Even with a single seeder as long as that seeder has a decent dsl connection, I usually have an average dl speed of 20kbps at 0 ratio. I just love to download anime/manga/new movies/albums through bittorrent. I usually use isohunt.com, boxtorrents.com, demonoid.com - it still depends on what you think though, about which of the two is faster.

From my experience, the download speed of Limewire is a lot faster than through torrents. But then again, it could be that I usually just download individual episodes instead of one whole season.

But if you really want to take the time to read about clubbox.co.kr, it's faster. It's in korean but there are instructions on the internet on how to sign up, and http://com5.runboard.com/bclubbox.fcblinks has some clubbox links, some of which include a large variety of western films =) idk i use it and it's fun hah hi, just a passerby
