Q: Does China have their own Torrent downloading site?

I've been having some problems downloading torrents recently, is there a Chinese version that will fall inside the Chinese intranet and will be faster and work well?

what part fails for you, the .torrent file, or the pirated stuff you would like downloaded using the .torrent file ? If the latter,then torrents are peer to peer and as such there is nothing you can do in terms of choosing where the pirated data originates.

Solution: VPN, torrents don't start until night for high speed, depends on the peers and location. But a VPN has solved this problem and download speeds upto 800

They do not need torrents, they openly violate IP. They have sites where you can stream and download movies directly like vbaidu, but install it on a junk computer because it could hurt your system.

What most people do here is to install a special application, which is a glorified player/downloader with additional fluff. The application will propose a selection and then download what you pick. The problem with that is that you will get what is popular... in China.

BitTorrent works for me, but you gotta find Torrent files on a place which looks like a bay and have pirates inside.

try www.torrent-finder.info

 

this has never failed to find what I need.

Thanks guys. As I've mentioned before, I'm not the most technological person. So Scan, I'm not sure where it's failing. I donload the torrent file, open it in Vuze and then it says ETA - infinity.. and then it'll start but after a day it's done like 1%. The first time I tried it worked well, had a movie in about 2 hours. But now it's impossible. And like DrM says, when I stream stuff it's only some, and lately you have to pay for some of the sites (iQiYi etc). 

ironman510:

Try a VPN, it'll work perfectly and open all doors.. Best if you sleep and let the downloading happen while you're sleeping, faster speeds at night due to less people crowding the network.
