download torrent speed suddenly cuts

Torrents are not illegal, it is using torrents for copyright infringement that is illegal. Torrent software was made as a tool for downloading large files quickly.

That's correct.

Threads get closed when people start discussing *what* they download (music, movies, software, etc.). Using a torrent client is not, by itself, illegal, and many people use torrents for legal file sharing, which shouldn't be overlooked.

apparently comcast throttles bt traffic. perhaps using the newest and most updated client with encryption enabled will help
