Which do you prefer to download with?

I actually like FTP most but second would be Torrent, yeah a lot of people say they are bad but i mainly get speeds up to 300kb/s sometimes more.

I like Torrents. FTP s are nice when you get a fast d/l speed but with Torrents it's based on how many people are sharing the torrent and online at the same time... it can take as long as 2 days or as short as 30 min to d/l a full operating system.

The fastest I ever DLd off a torrent was abot 25 mins. for a 2+GB file. OTOH, using Fresh Download, I DL'd XP Pro x64 in under 5 minutes (hit rates as high as 4000kb/s on the network.
