YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time. Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.

As i understand it, it keeps the rarer torrents alive despite there being no/low no. of seeders. How exactly? The only way to do it would be to spread bits of the torrent across the network of bittorent users, even if the users are not aware of the file. In that case, each torrent being shared by you will also be treated the same. The problem is, and it is a big one: what will happen if the RIAA or other such organizations file suit against you. You are damned even if you are truly unaware of the fact. But the truly horrible fact is that in such a scenario, a mass trojan or virus can propagate instantly across millions of computers and crash the internet. Denial of service anyone, fake torrents by Media Defender anyone... Methinks this will create more problems than it solves.

So, during prime time, I only get 30 minutes for 1 euro, but 1.5 hours for 1 euro during slow times. In this way, some torrents will be more "valuable" than others. You can 400 seeders for 5 leechers, but may some of those seeders will be encouraged to seed other torrents if they got more "credit" for it. Those other torrents would be ones with few seeders or is a "torrent" being streamed. I frequent an Internet cafe where the number of minutes you get for each euro depends on how busy the cafe is.
