    Hey all,

    Has anyone had experience with downloading Torrents using Three Broadband. Regardless of the speeds, just want to know if it is possible?

    Thanks,

    I've only used torrents a few times and those were game patches and game mod which all worked fine.

    It will work. It will be slow and you will exceed your download limit regularly

    works fine. speeds can be fine as well, despite what you read on here. You do need to be careful of not just the download, but also the upload limits as it's a torrent after all......

    Yeah, definitely watch the upload, as this is what bites a lot of people. When you're finished downloading, you're best off closing the Torrent client, otherwise it will continue to upload even though you're not downloading. Speed could well be an issue, or it could be fine. If you get good speeds in general in your location, then there's no reason why the torrent speed should be any worse (bar poorly seeded torrents maybe).
