After user download piece 10 out of 100 pieces and connection was interrupted, next time user can download starting from piece 10 to assure the file. User can reconstruct the original big file with certain program. Otherwise, downloading one big file will cause user to download from start (as download resumability is not certain) when connection was interrupted. It will save both time and bandwidth usage. Please support that functionality. Hello,
Downloading torrent in pieces will allow user to save the bandwidth usage when connection interrupt occurred.

After user download piece 10 out of 100 pieces and connection was interrupted,
next time user can download starting from piece 10 to assure the file.
User can reconstruct the original big file with certain program.

Otherwise, downloading one big file will cause user to download from start (as download resumability is not certain) when connection was interrupted.

It will save both time and bandwidth usage.
Please support that functionality.

I entered the url of a popular 700+ MB title and was downloading the file within minutes. It was incredibly easy. However, the file (possibly due to it's popularity) was still in btaccel's cache from another user, which meant that it was available for immediate download. That isn't the case for every torrent, obviously. My first attempt at this using this service went remarkably smoothly.

Also, you will be blocked from using certain trackers and have limits on others, like Demonoid. All-in-all, I love the idea and the service and say thanks for spreading the word, which hopefully will help people who get wrongly harassed over trying to use BT when it's clearly the best option for big file transfer.

Yes, I know it's alpha right now. But it just doesn't work. It doesn't suck in a alpha-sort of way, it's just one big epic fail. I tried over a dozen torrents from various sites. The only thing I got to work was a completely unnecessary Ubuntu torrent (which I correctly assumed would already be avialable) that I only loaded to satisfy my curiosity as to whether Btaccel worked at all. Thanks for the invite, but I'm done. Great concept, but not even close in implementation. Well, having used this service for about a week now, I feel like I can safely say that it sucks.

Tim did send us a lot of traffic and helped us find yet another couple of ways that we can break our server. For that we are grateful. For the bad experiences some of you had we are embarrassed. Regarding the % dropping back down to less than what it was before, that was caused by a failed hard drive which took all of those torrents with it. We are "skimping" on quality drives to keep the costs down. Regarding the 99% torrents that are stuck at 99% forever. We have noticed that some torrents just don't complete. Have not been able to find a reason so far. For now, if a torrent does not complete within 72 hours we remove it from the queue. Cheers and please email me at tom AT btaccel DOT com if there is anything I can help with. Tom Thanks for the article and feedback.
