 Some sites give the option of downloading from the Web site or from an available '''BitTorrent''' link (such as the [[Machinima|machinima]] production [http://www.redvsblue.com RedvsBlue.com]). Because internet traffic usually costs Web site operators money, its usually best to use '''BitTorrent''' but for overall speed, you should choose depending on time of day (considering the time zones of all the other users too):
-# During peak Internet usage times (usually 6-9 P.M. weekdays): ''''''BitTorrent'''''' - the program scales inversely to the demand, making download speeds quite high.

 # Low usage times (3 a.m. on a Sunday): '''Direct Download''' - getting the data from the Web site directly may be faster as the Web site's [[Traffic|traffic]] is more available.

 There are a variety of reasons for Web sites to use Magnet files:
-. Torrent files, although small, can take up an enormous amount of internet traffic for Web sites that host thousands of torrents for hundreds of thousands of people. A simple string of letters and numbers is far more efficient.
