Title: BitCoinTorrentz.com - Fast & Annonymous Torrent Downloads for Bitcoin!

Has anyone heard of this site?

They offer a remote torrent downloading service in exchange for bitcoin. It's pretty inexpensive. Users can initiate a remote download of a torrent on their servers in exchange for bitcoin, you then get a direct http link that you can use to download the files at high speed, or else stream video files directly from their servers.

It seems that this would be useful to people behind proxy servers, have blocked ports, get slow download speeds, living in college dorms or using public computer networks, or those like me who simply value anonymity online and don't want ISP's or rights organization snooping on my downloads.

Also, it's a good way for me to get rid of small amounts of bitcoin I have lying around in my wallet that are not worth doing anything else with. It's a pretty intriguing service... and they charge based on the size of the torrent you want. I believe the rate is 0.05 BTC per GB, but if you register an anonymous account you get an immediate 20% discount, and you can get up to 50% discount if you download a lot.

Here is what they say with regards to anonymity:

Quote
100% anonymity - guaranteed!

We do not keep logs of any user information on this server that could be used to identify you. User's IP addresses are never stored! All transactions take place via bitcoin, a p2p cryptocurrency that guarantees your privacy. And in addition to this, downloaded files will be securely deleted from the server after 3 days using a 7-pass data overwrite.

I have used the site a few times already and I find it extremely useful. Thought I would pass along the info.
