You assume that everyone has those super ultra fast multi gigabyte per second fiber optic internet connections that only cost around $20us per month. I have a top of the line Comcast Cable connection here in the US and I pay $195us per month for 300megaBYTES down and 10megaBYTES up.... I would love to be able to have a 50/50 or 100/100 GB per second symmetrical Fiber connection but as long as we have greedy Telco's here that will never happen... 

Sometimes "getting your shit and leaving" can take several hours or even days depending on speed issues, size of the download, TCP Overhead.... etc.. lol

I would hate to have internet so shitty that I'm stuck waiting days for TPB's webpage to load; You must have been waiting a month to reply to this thread.
Also, I call bullshit on your terrible Comcast Cable. I've had the worst of the worst with Comcast and Cox, and I can still download anything under 15gb in about an hour tops.

Comcast is terrible.....don't you guys have AT & T internet service ? It's still pretty fast here in California.  Cool

Call it what you want Catroot, but I would be HAPPY AF to be able to consistently download a 1.8gb 1080p Torrent is less than 30+ Minutes. ON AVERAGE, a 13 episode Season Rip of a TV Show at 720P that is anywhere from 10-15gb in size depending on A/V encoding used will take anywhere between 45-90 minutes...Most times it takes longer. A 4 GB 1080p WWE or MMA PPV can take 2 hours or more even when the torrent is heavily seeded and there are dozens of DHT seeders. Comcrap is the only game in town besides AT&T and I have to pay so damn much just to get decent service, otherwise, I'd literally be waiting DAYS for my torrents to finish if I went with a slower tier. 

Those in the EU that happen to live in places like Taiwan where broadband is way faster and dirt cheap have it lucky. They should be glad that their ISP's prioritize speed n service over money..

Taiwan no Europe

Europe is a developed continent, I do not know how other continents have such underdeveloped connections. Own third world.


In Spain the common speed is 50/50 100/100 200/200 300/300 400/400 600/600

And we came from very low in speeds, but high prices being competent led us to this.

Yeah, yeah, whatever. The time it takes to download a torrent is completely and utterly irrelevant.

All you require from TPB is a magnet link. Open the site. Find a torrent. Click the magnet link. Close the site. End of miner.

If you are ever on TPB for more than 5 minutes or so you're doing it wrong.

And if you're ever on TPB without an ad blocker you're doing it doubly wrong.

What about those that leave their computers on 24/7 and are novice users?

I think the issue is that applications malfunction and bug out I.E even after you close a web-browser a process could still be listed within the system doing something within the background and the poor person who purchased a overclocked system via a recommendation of a friend is completely unknown their CPU is getting their CPU's lifespan degraded in the mean time. (Faster than what it would do at least)

It's definitely hitting my CPU as shown in attachments.

It takes 1 minute to open the upload page, 4 minutes to fill in all fields and 3 minutes to upload a torrent file on 3rd or 4th attempt.

Well, in my case, I suffer with the broken search on TPB. About 80% of time, when I search by date, I get results from 13/12/2017. So, what I do is I leave one tab opened that shows the latest results, and then reload another, so I can see if the search will function that time, and I can remember the latest torrent I got. Thats just my method to go around the site´s flaw. And I usually click on ads 2 or 3 times a day to support a little the site. But now, I need to leave Ublock Origin, no script and no coin-hive On to not get my CPU abused, so , unfortunately, no more click on banners. I will try to get a more surgical solution, so I can still see some banner and click on them to show my support on the site.
