ImageShack now provides free torrent download service.

...

Do you have trouble downloading torrents? Is your ISP keeping you from downloading legal torrents? Now you need worry no more for ImageShack will download your torrents for you, which you can then download through HTTP.

So what do you people think of this? I personally do not like this due to the fact that the ImageShack servers will not seed the downloaded torrents.

I tried it out but it seems you only have a very limited number of space on your "Image Shack" drive. I guess you would have to pay to get more, but I wasn't even able to download 100MB without the site giving me the error "Not enough disk space". So it doesn't seem to useful to me.

I also agree that it isn't a good Idea since they don't seed.

Interesting concept, but I don't even like ImageShack hosting my pics. Photobucket ftw.

whatever

It would be good if you didn't have to sign up.

I can see how it would be helpful in certain situations but also prevents that person from seeding.

I am loving this.

I've always had problems with torrents (don't ask), and this service is simply AMAZING. HTTP downloads! This is brilliant ...

Thank you, myself for pointing this out!

Well, remember that Bittorent can only support a certain amount of leechers before it becomes slow and people start going off the idea.
