does this site throttle you at all?

And I'm a bit concerned about this site TBH....it talks about bittorrent being a 'peer to peer' service, when the whole point of torrent technology is that it ISN'T! Limewire and other such shite services were P2P but torrent doesn't normally work that way.....and before you ask 'so what', P2P has two major disadvantages....(i) the fact you are downloading one file from one source makes it easy for the host to infect it, and (ii) it makes it a piece of piss for anyone to track and prove your downloading.....call me paranoid but.....

clive will explain further no doubt , but as far as i understand the files are spread amongst loads of different seeds , making it hard to track because each seed only holds a part of the file ..... summat like that anyway , im sure clive will expand

no thats exactly right, which is why I'm puzzled when they are talking about P2P cos its totally different. Oh well, I'll see what the end product is like!

ive downloaded dozens of albums ( purely for research purposes ) ..... and have no probs , but thats not to say you will , im not a tinternet eggspurt , i guess you try it and see , ive never downloaded video files tho , so please let me know if its ok

i think you look at the colour of the bar ... if its green its ok , red is unsafe

but .... as soon as its finished downloading , stop the file ..... then extract contents

Thats why I stick to a site that costs me a few dollars.....when I splurge my $25 I get 500Gb of download without having to reciprocate, i.e. no uploading from me to them to cramp my bandwidth.

I must have d/loaded >2000 fillums and watched but a few....they are for my retirement LOL.
