I found it’s actually better to transfer the files directly from my computer to the pocketcloud, so I can watch movies during the trip when I’m bored.
Because it relies on a P2P network rather than a single central server, your download speed depends heavily on the health of the torrent file and your network configuration.
Low Seed-to-Peer Ratio (The Biggest Culprit)In a P2P network, seeders are users who have the complete file and are uploading it, while peers (or leechers) are users who are still downloading it.If a torrent has hundreds of seeders and only a few peers, it will download incredibly fast.If a torrent has only 1 or 2 seeders and hundreds of peers competing for that data, your speed will drop drastically. Old or unpopular torrents often suffer from this.
