So, to install a torrented OS off of usb, like win7 for example, you find a torrent, put the .iso file onto the usb drive, then you put it in the usb port and boom, it runs you through the setup? If that's wrong, then please explain. Thanks
depends on how legitimit it is. Say it was a windows ISO then yes you should be worried but if it was a Linux distro from the vendor, No. Next to no risk. Obviously there is always a risk, you can get a virus just from going to google.com in theory. Nothing is 100% safe.
However, while I was still in Germany, I had a 16000 dl and a 7000 upload rate. I did notice that my downloads in linux were faster thank on my XP machine. Also the number of stalled downloads was far greater on the XP PC.
I only run XP on an old (4yo) laptop now and leave all my downloading to my linux PC (Opensuse 11.1) and Ktorrent. Given the connection I have here, there is no way I would download anything on the laptop.
That being all said, yes I use utorrent in windows and ktorrent in linux and I do notice that ktorrent is a little slower to download files than utorrent on the same machine. BUT not by much so I dont even worry about it. I think ktorrent just isnt as advanced as utorrent is but they are making a lot of progress with every release.
hello i too have this problem ,it only started after i had a windows 10 update a few days ago . the " start bit torrent when windows start " is UNTICKED but it still starts up even if i have no torrents listed
