ImageShack Starts Free BitTorrent Download Service
Written by Ernesto (http://torrentfreak.com/author/ernesto/) on April 05, 2008

The popular media hosting website ImageShack just launched a new service that lets you download torrent files onto their servers. When the download is complete, you can download the files from ImageShack via an http link.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImageShack’s torrent download service (http://tor.imageshack.us/tor/) is still in Beta, but it works just fine. The only thing you need to do is point ImageShack to the torrent file and press start. The download will start immediately, and once it’s finished you can download the files via http onto your computer.

Services like this are not new, but up until now I haven’t seen one that doesn’t charge money. There are some limitations though. Per month you can download a maximum of 15GB to your computer, and the storage on ImageShack’s servers is also limited to 15GB. Read more... (http://torrentfreak.com/imageshack-bitorrent-080405/)

Yeah, i also read this before but I am concerned about privacy.

since Imageshack would what i downloaded, can they catch us if a downlad pirated content?.


On Sevice usage
I tried downloading “Torrent: Archlinux-i686-2007.08-2.core.iso”

but when i click START.
I get this

“Your disk space has been exceeded.

Please free 158.0 MB of disk space, or add more capacity to your account.”

But i created a new account now, its my first torrent.

How come all disk space is being used?


I have also mailed imageshack regarding this, lets see what they say
