After awhile just log back into the accounts delete the torrent from your free space and reactivate it ,whilst never actually downloading via HTTP. could this work? Maybe someone could setup a bot on their computer to do all the reactivating part in the imageshack torrent tool automatically and bingo all your torrent now have an extra 20k x how ever many accounts you got running per torrent if you can change your download rate to like say 1k and it still uploads at 20k you could get a bunch of accounts and set them up to help you seed your torrents.

I thought my pass key was in the torrent file I download from private trackers and that if I gave this torrent file to ImageShack it would be able to do the downloading ... but apparently not. Anyone get this service working with a private trackers torrents?

They've got the servers and bandwidth, after all. - more money from payed accounts? I've never bothered to check how they actually make their income (except for the ads on their pages), but a (partially) commercial proxy server/file hosting system combo specializing on BT does sound like something that could bring in some bucks. From the POV of legal torrents the whole concept ain't bad. I mean badly seeded torrents, like many old movies which are in the public domain, not Linux distros which indeed usually have dedicated servers guaranteeing availability.
