Yes you can download torrents but certain sites like pirate bay are blocked. So you'll have to just search around and find some you can trust. There's even many in Chinese.

Download to your heart's content. At one stage I was doing 10Gb an evening as I prefer to download movies while am asleep. There are no download limits. And the VPN? I actually found the download was much faster with the VPN turned off. That is, find what you want on whatever site, start your download, check the speed, turn off the VPN, see the speed change, voila!

Thanks for great advice. You were right about the speed increase!

Yes, torrents work, but pirate bay doesn't (about half of the sites I tried do without VPN). Torrents do download faster without VPN. btjunkie.org and torrentz.eu (a site with no torrents on it, but searches other torrent sites) are my go-to sites for torrents here.

go to www.rarbg.com

you can get even the latest movie though some of them are not that good quality.

e.g, after few days of screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" I found it on that site in TS quality. It was not that perfect but OK..Usually, I download the latest movie even in TS or CAM quality and if I like them then I go to Cinema to watch them in good quality.

another site to search is 1337x.org but seems both are some how linked as I could see regular update at bot sites at the same time. And both of them are linked to one bulgarian torrent sites which was closed about 3 years ago but now they are back with different names...

anyway, www.rarbg.com should be a perfect place, better than piratebay or others..

 

have fun..

Works with or without VPN, so long as you can get the magnet link or the torrent file.

 

That said, turn it off and download until you have the matrix oozing out your hard drives. I have averaged about 30GB-50GB a week since last December on my 10 Megabit with China Telecom.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
