Downloading the torrents is one thing. Actually leeching stuff another. At least Meta seems to have had some difficulties due to the low number of seeders.
Oh, yeah, I guess. Every time I’ve used torrents to get the books it hasn’t been very slow. But I imagine when you’re downloading terabytes of books it’s a very different situation
Aside from the speed issue, AA also has an impressive collection of metadata that isn’t always captured within the files themselves. They also have metadata for a ton of books that aren’t in their collection(yet).
Yeah I don’t understand why they couldn’t just download the torrents with all of the website’s books and be done with it.
they wanted high-speed database access
