Accept it as true from someone who uses bit torrent regularly that
this most definately IS the case. Not conjecture, not theory, fact.

No, search engines merely facilitiate the location of torrents, not
the downloading of the data itself.

BZZZZT. "I'm using broadband (so that should be quick)". How on earth
does that compute? I have a fast car, doesn't mean I can get from here
to London in 10 minutes. There's other factors to take into account -
like - as I am tired of saying - how many other people have the file.

A totally reasonable assumption. But the fact that nobody else is
sharing the l33t warez that you want .. oh I give up, you're not
listening anyway.
