Is it worth paying for a direct download website? When downloading for free it takes 6-8 hours (and for some reason it got interrupted and failed, so I have to attempt again) but if I paid for it I could download it in 3 minutes. I'm worried that the free version just doesn't support having a download take that long, so it will be impossible to obtain.

I'm not sure if it is safe, nor stupid to do so though. Specifically, I'm talking about torbobit (dot) net

Would you consider torrenting (from non-private torrents) safer than ddl? I can either pay the ddl or a vpn and use a torrent. Idk.

Thank you.

is it rsload (dot) net, org, etc.? I couldn't find it on the megathread or from other treasures links. However, I did see this on Wiki Index's list of unsafe sites

RSLOAD - Uploaded the same version of malwarebytes that got FileCR in trouble / Utorrent malware
