uTorrent is an application, torrent is a protocol, zip is a file format. You’re comparing apples to oranges to zebras here.

Anything that downloads slow is because there are few seeders and they have bandwidth that is either limited or saturated.

I personally gave up on torrenting when 80%+ of them wouldn’t start downloading even when there were apparently many active seeders. I still pay for my vpn just in case, but I haven’t even had a client on my machine in over 18 months and I can’t recall when I fired it up before that.

I just pay for streaming services. All I really miss is the blu-ray quality.

Those were some entertaining movies (as I recall—I don’t know if I’ve seen them since I was barely into double-digit age). Worthwhile, even if they are based on beliefs I don’t share.
