Service Description
Furk.net is a free file hosting service. Like many others. But for premium users (€10 per month) we have something more to offer - BitTorrent downloads through our servers.
How does it works:
- You get a small .torrent metafile or a link to it from third parties like forums or bittorrent search engines like btmon.com or torrentz.com.
- You add that .torrent file to Furk.net using the BitTorrent section in your account (not the start page form!).
- We download the torrent itself and send you an email notice.
- Now you can download the torrent from our servers using HTTP protocol and your favorite download manager.
Benefits:
- In most cases we can download torrents faster then you can do. Because our servers located on more faster networks then an ordinary home computer
- You don't have to be online all the time when you are downloading torrents.
- ISPs never shape HTTP traffic but do shape P2P traffic. The traffic between you and our servers is HTTP so will not be shaped. You can download your files at full speed of your connection.
- Some ISPs filter HTTP traffic. Our servers may be accessed using non-standard HTTP port and/or HTTPS.
- You are anonymous. Nobody in the bittorrent network can get you IP address or other details.
Money Back Guarantee
If for some reason your bittorrent cannot be downloaded from the bittorrent network you can request a full refund.
Limits
Currently we have two main limits:- 75.0 GB of HTTP traffic per month. Internal Bittorrent traffic is charged only for finished torrents. I.e. if you have started few alike torrents and only one succed you will be billed only for 2x of the torrent size. But also we have a large bittorrent cache. Most of popular torrents are cached and may be downloaded instantly through http.
- 60.0 GB of disk space for torrents
Download speeds
- From BT network your torrent should be ready in 1-3 hours for a CD images size and less then 1 day for a DVD. Since this is a p2p network the speed may vary depending of number of peers. If your torrents are significantly slower you are always free to cancel them and add new ones. BT bandwidth of is not counted for failed torrents.
- HTTP speed depends only on your Internet connection speed. All our servers have dedicated 100 or 1000 Mbps uplinks.
