I've downloaded a number of full seasons of TV shows (most of which I ended up buying on DVD, so I feel justified.) and many a anime series to check out before spending $100 for 20 episodes.

Probably in the TB range, but really only a shade over "1".

Generally applications that are considered to "work great" don't crash.

You might try µTorrent instead.

I have been using bittorrent for about 2 years. I have pulled down at least 3-4 terabytes.

I don't know. A couple years I guess. That's a low estimate. I'm probably a couple hundred GB's above that.

How can you do that when you are too busy getting busy with your girlfriend?
