Well, it’s fast if you know how to configure your router.  A lot of noobs get 3 kbs because they haven’t configured their router like it says to.

It’s very traceable, but it has legitimate uses as well.  That’s why I have it on my PC.

ughh fast?  U gotta be kidding me the only way you can get it to go fast if you have alot of peers connecting to the file or else is slow like a slug.

Its only fast if there is enough people downloading or seeding the same torrent. Sometimes its fast sometimes its slow. Anyone can see your ip address, so use it at your own risk
