Probably a newb question, but I was curious if it was possible to download the same exact file from 2 different sites. I figure to increase download speeds.

I tried unsuccessfully that is why I asked;)
if you want the speed increased, just find a tracker that has a good speed like SCC, FTN, or ScT, surely you'll get a maximum speed there
No you cannot, unless you assign each torrent its own files. Writing to the same file from two torrents with diff pieces should corrupt it. So just split the files, so each torrent only downloads half of the files. Then stop and force recheck, and seed both files away.
Potential problems. diff sites often don't have perfect copies of each other sites rars, so when you recheck, it will show the file as 98% complete.
How often have you had that happen? Every single time that I do multiple seeds it's never a problem. Neither should adding multiple trackers to the download, just make sure that things like sfv's and samples are included in both.Quote:

Like i tried getting traveller from ftn, but the seed dropped off, so i started leeching from TL, then tried to force check back, and some of the rars weren't syncing. I am not sure what sites you use, but on most sites i try overseed, they occasionally synch up, but they don't match up just as often.Quote:
