The Bubbles challenge

Not on my side. I have been averaging about 100gigs a month on torrents. Just stepped it up this month for the competition.

I Noticed you get quite high speeds on torents especialy after 12PM, during the day its not too bad, i chose to rather download HTML files for the competition, Torents can be very unreliable

I use Torrent Day for my torrents. They are reliable and no viruses thus far. they are going private soon and membership will only be with invites.
 
I use Downstorm for torents, its a paid service but basically they download the torents to their site and you download it directly form them, no uploading

I was wondering about downstorm. Do you ask them to download what you want and then you get a HTTP link for download?

yep, its a web based interface and they have a firefox extension as well (as aposed to copying the torent link then opening up your downstorm acount and pasting it there ) you only limited by your acount size, but even if you use up all the space, you can que up other torents and as soon as you remove one the next one starts downloading - its worth the price, (in my opinion)
 
Think I just dropped out of the race, power went off last night and no idea if I even got anything

That pus a few other hiccups and my download does not look that good.
 
And with one week left:

Download = 151 350.80 MB
Upload = 25 122.21 MB
Total Usage = 176 473.01 MB
 
Was playing Age of Empires Online Beta. Did a PVP that took a bit longer than I expected. Then I had a look at my usage, and got in bed :)

Okay so seeing those stats my chances are zero.
