Why is it seemingly faster to torrent?
In: 0
Regular downloads: a single server (remote computer somewhere) sends you the file piece by piece. If the server doesn’t have enough speed (for example, it’s overloaded or just doesn’t want to send the file at full speed until you buy premium), the speed will be limited by that.
Torrents: many computers in the network send you different pieces of the file at the same time. If there are enough people who have the required parts and are connected to you, the download speed will only be limited by the speed at which you can receive anything.
