Torrent speeds will only be fast if there are enough seeds, any site offering such services for a fee are most likely dodgy...they sure as hell are not just offering Linux ISO's.

Discussion of torrents are ok, however discussion of any copyright material is not ok

Most of these torrent sites you speak of require you to be invited by someone who is a member... i think its bs about having to pay but alot of them ask for donations for vip status in return.
