Is it worth paying for a direct download website? When downloading for free it takes 6-8 hours (and for some reason it got interrupted and failed, so I have to attempt again) but if I paid for it I could download it in 3 minutes. I’m worried that the free version just doesn’t support having a download take that long, so it will be impossible to obtain.

I’m not sure if it is safe, nor stupid to do so though. Specifically, I’m talking about torbobit (dot) net

Would you consider torrenting (from non-private torrents) safer than ddl? I can either pay the ddl or a vpn and use a torrent. Idk.

Thank you.

      If you have a paid account you can provide it your login credentials and it’ll get faster speeds.

      Without premium it’ll still work fine, and in my experience I get less failed downloads with it compared to just a web browser.

      JD helps you manage slow free downloads, not have to wade through all those popups and misleading links to get through the actual download process.

      If you actually have a paid user ID at the host, it can handle that too.
