HelpQ: Aren't you guys merely ripping off the file-sharing community by leeching and giving nothing in return?
A: We are not leechers. Our backend servers are configured to share everything we download until UL/DL ratio reaches 1.
Q: Is it safe to use instant-torrents.com with private trackers? I'm afraid to lose my ratio.
A: YES, IT IS SAFE TO USE INSTANT-TORRENTS.COM WITH PRIVATE TRACKERS. We seed back everything we leech until ratio reaches 1, period.
In fact, you may see the torrent ratio, it's displayed with every torrent you download, and it's reported in real time. If you feel like something went wrong, dont even hestitate to contact with us via instanttorrents@gmail.com. We will investigate the case and provide you the detailed report during the 24 hours, and if something really went wrong, we will seed torrent manually.
Q: Dont you mind me using my favorite download accelerator while downloading from you?
A: Hell no! Actually we encourage you to use one (check this Wikipedia article if you dont know what a download manager is). Why use a built-in download in your browser, if you can download in many threads and get your files much faster? Security and speed - this is what we are all about, and as our speed-tests showed, downloading is faster using a download manager. Vroom-Vroom! ;-)
Q: If I close the Instant-Torrents.com webpage while downloading something, does it affect anything? Will I lose my download?
A: It all works by the "set it and forget it" principle, mate. Once you've given us the torrent file you wish to have downloaded, you can close the webpage, exit your browser, even shutdown your PC. Dump your significant other, divorce your spouse; quit your job, get a tattoo, whatever. The download never stops because it is being done via Instant-Torrents, not your machine. Once it's finished, come back and grab your stuff!
Q: Do you guys have any limits imposed on users?
A: Sadly enough we do. Sorry, but only 5 active requests. Our servers have to be able to withstand the loads for requested torrents. No limits on torrents size, tho. And absolutely NO LIMITS ON BANDWIDTH. Yeah, we dont mind you downloading this infamous "The Complete Mozart" torrent (~78Gb). We like Mozart too!
Q: Are there any additional features Instant-Torrents.com plans to offer?
A: Sure! Soon we will be offering searches of closed and private trackers as well. And we are going to offer.... oh well. Bookmark us and come back regulary. We never fail to surprise.
Q: Wake up! The 90's are over, man! Where is my web 2.0 features?
A: See, we all have a full-time jobs and we are developing instant-torrents in our spare time. But who cares? Definitely not you, insensitive clod. Ratings (already available), tags (and tag clouds), ability to recommend torrents to your friends (already available) - that's all coming soon. Stay tuned.
Q: I'm a novice user. What is Usenet?
A: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet#Binary_content
Also http://www.usenetpedia.com and http://www.techsono.com/.
If you are too lazy to read the abovementioned links, here is the executive summary -- Usenet is a place with a lot of files. You need a newsreader software and .NZB files to download these files.
Q: I'm advanced user. Cut this adtalk and put the things straight.
A: Sure.
Works anytime you are in Ivacy network. Good reading!
Q: Dammit, Ivacy.com is a paid service! WTF?!
A: Good question. We are in no way affiliated with Ivacy.com, so their prices may change without notice, but as of now, they are offering a month of unlimited access to their VPN for a 10 Euros. Let's see what are you getting for your hard-earned money?
You may google every service mentioned and see the prices for yourself. In fact, the sole access to VPN service will cost you 10 euros per month, nothing fancy included.
Usenet access will cost you around 10 dollars as well, and if you want it to be SSL protected, prepare to pay 20 dollars (in case of Ivacy, everything is encrypted by default).
And torrents, oh well, they are absolutely free of charges, while receiving the RIAA/MPAA legal notice and being taken to court is PRICELESS! Just kidding. :)
And speaking seriously, all these services work very well with each other. You may use Instant-torrents.com for downloading popular torrents, because they were already requested by someone else and hence available on our servers, or you may use the port forwarding feature and use your torrent client (or any other P2P software) under Ivacy for getting something obscure. Can't find the stuff you need even on a private trackers or other P2P networks? Check Usenet!
And hey, what's cool is that they provide every new user with 1Gb of free traffic. No credit card required, signup and configuration takes a couple of seconds. Go figure.
PS: Last, but definitely not least. Please use this link to signup so we can collect some refferal fees. Every penny helps.
Q: Hey guys, if you are not affiliated with Ivacy in any way, how did you managed to connect your site to their network?
A: Ivacy.com offers unique feature of connecting your servers to their network (no other VPN provider has it). Simply switch your Ivacy account into "provider mode", configure OpenVPN client to connect to their networks, and it's all done. They even have their own domain registrar at http://domains.vpn (works only under Ivacy).
Q: Why does it make sense to pay for using a VPN service to get my torrent files?
A: It depends on the volume of torrents you want or need. If you are a casual user, getting say a few movies or tv-shows a month, it might very well make sense. You will get your files quickly, securely and literally for only a couple of bucks. Of course, if you are a high-volume user of torrents, you can get a dedicated 'seedbox', but these are quite costly and are based on a flat-fee system, regardless of how many files you do or do not download, you still are paying the same fee. We think that sucks. If you decide to pay for your torrents, we believe you should pay only for the stuff you've actually downloaded.
Q: VPN is hard to configure, man, and i'm not your typical basement geek person. What i'm supposed to do?
A: This little thingie will help.
Q: Hey, when i'm in Ivacy VPN, all of my traffic goes via Ivacy. Yeah, i dont mind being protected and all, but i'm running out of my free 500Mb quite fast. Can i use Ivacy for browsing your site only?
A: Get their Ivacy Monitor, go to "Settings" and check the box "Use this connection to access Ivacy internal sites"
Q: I never heard about .site domain before, and you are asking me to go to there to complete my download. My browser refuses to open this site and says that page not found. Please explain!
A: Well, this is one of the distinctive features of Ivacy VPN; it has a plenty of domains which work only when you are inside Ivacy. For complete explanation please refer to "How it works" section of our site.
