downloading

Usually I use public FTP-servers for downloading movies, TV series or music. It's very comfortable because I always download with fullspeed and I am able to download a 600MB movie in less than one hour. But I can't find the fifth season of Twenty Four on such a server and nobody wanted to upload it. So I decided to use to use Torrent. I searched The Pirate Bay and found one torrent file included the whole season.
But torrent is fucking slow. I am now downloading for more than 110 hours and I not even downloaded the half. (49 per cent) It's the first time my computer runs for 24 hours a day. Before I mostly shutdown my computer for the night. I now asking myself if the electricity is more expensive than buying the season on DVD. Actually not, but it's a crazy feeling to run the computer for five days non-stop. And I think it will become ten days until I finished downloading.
