Question

Why is a torrent better than emule or limewire?

Answer 1

A torrent is safer.  A torrent file is associated with specific content.  Any change in the content and it will be rejected.

This means that someone cannot inject malware into a clean torrent.  So once it is known to be clean, it will remain clean.

This also allows torrents containing malware to be quickly identified.

Reading comments and ratings at a torrent search site, malware can easily be avoided.

With limewire, emule it is harder to keep track of malware as anyone can put a file with malware in their share folder.

Answer 2

It isn't.  I believe emule and limewire have also gone the same route as torrents so you can download the same thing from many different people instead of just a single user.  This is why torrents USED to be better, I believe they are the same now.

Answer 3

It is not any better. Just use imageshack torrent service and direct download it.
