I prefer torrents over direct downloads...
because of the following reasons.:-
----We can stop and resume downloads at any time... and any no of times... but most of these sharing sites hav limit on this....
----If anything happens to my download, i can always resume it in torrents, without any problem... In other direct links... if i get some error... i have to strat all over again...
----Torrents do not have limit on download speed or no of downloads perday, likt other sites...
Enjoy downloading with torrents....

direct downloads can be quicker and easier but I prefer torrents because it's more communal - private niche sites tend to have a strong community of people uploading rare things from their collections, and there's more of a focus on sharing files with each other instead of just downloading them plus you don't have the problem of having to wait or pay when trying to download more than one file or the timelimit before it's deleted.

I usually use direct download but when there are no other methods then I will use torrent. But I prefer to use direct download because it is faster for me and there is less chance of downloading any malware because I set my browser to prompt for all downloads.

I haven't used torrent yet, but I usually use a p2p software. I've used file sharing services and they're such a drag!

I'd certainly prefer Torrents.The downloads are really fast. The best features is that the downloads can be paused and done later which isn't possible with direct downloads. Also its possible to preview video files before downloading it completely which cannot be done with direct downloads.
