>It doesn't matter whether I download 18GB from http(s) or from a torrent, the data remains the same size Incorrect. For starters, torrent overhead is much higher than http traffic and so the transfer is actually cheaper for http. More critically is the fact that high connection count, as associated with torrents, results in connection saturation on 90% of consumer routers thus crippling all traffic, especially sensitive stuff like gaming, for everyone involved. Other than that yeah, but this isn't for people like us. This is actually perfect for people like my father; he comes around every week to grab TV and Movies off me. I could remotely manage his account until he figured it out himself. The thing that could make this service much better would be a feature to LAN sync content, so that one doesn't need to pull down from the internet when the file is avaliable over the LAN. Kind of like how Dropbox-esque services do it.
