So as far as I understand, this service basically just equates to a way to download torrents faster. Sometimes much faster, but still, that doesn't seem super important. Also, can someone explain to me what kind of torrents people would actually use this for? They seem to have a huge emphasis on videos, but they also say that they don't allow copyrighted content. Maybe I just don't know much about torrents (I mostly use them for things like downloading Ubuntu), but I don't understand what kind of legal videos people would be torrenting so frequently that they need this.



They don't even pretend outside of TOS. On the main page in the examples there is copyrighted material.

Also, how is paying somebody to brake the law for you not breaking the law as well? Out of all the ways to get "videos" of the Internet this must be the least secure nowadays.
