There could be a way to get around all this ---
From what i have discovered on the net - most of the torrent files have the same files stored in the following very popular file share zones :
rapidshare megaupload megashares etc etc But mostly rapidshare. Just type the exact same file name but include "rapidshare" in the word you are searching. For example : here is a part link to download iphone firm ware: http://rapidshare.com/files/245840395/iPhone1_2_3.0_7A341_Restore.part1.rar - Combined with the inherent Mozilla Browser download accelerator "* DownThemAll*" - one can usually get a 1.5 GB in a about a typical 8 hr working day [for free users] and [about 2 hours or less for premium users]. This "*DownThemAll*" bypasses any firewalls that prevent download accelarators as far as i have tested on different networks. One catch though - some sites give fake rapidshare links to increase their google searches. But you will know the right ones by testing the links. Some are deleted because of copyright. But the guys uploading have always come up with clever abbreviations to keep these files alive and well on the internet. So my advise - keep searching on rapidshare [try different combinations of search keywords] - i have never failed to find what i want [so far]
