Getting your ISP off your #&%$! or Downloading Securely with Seedr

Any ninja service that helps you with computer hassles is a friend in my book.

So my ISP is Spectrum, and not by choice. They are notoriously full of malfunctions and disruptions in service. To add insult to injury, whenever I've called to complain they finally started trying to lay the blame onto me saying that I was distributing materials from my computer (whatever that means). After this, any time I started downloading any files my wi-fi is shut off every few seconds as though they'd put a suspicion block on me.

Honestly, never go with Spectrum. I didn't. Our HOA has a contract that residents must use them whether we like it or not. Beautiful.

The way I've been able to get around this is placing anything I need to place them into my Seedr folder and then download it to my computer from there. I'm not sure what magic Seedr does, but downloads from them are so secure and reliable that my ISP either doesn't see them or doesn't suspect them. Seedr saved me many times, as I needed large files of important documents I couldn't even get from my own cloud, for personal reasons.

Seedr is a service that lets you store and download up to 2 Gigabytes for safe downloading. You torrent lovers might wanna check this out too, as it also allows for safe, free, unchecked downloads that won't get you into trouble with your ISP. Although you all are the reason ISP's start suspecting people and why I'm going through this mess in the first place. But to be honest, I'm on your side. Especially after my ISP gave me such hassle.

Similar services exist but I found them to be buggy. Most limit you to under one gigabyte, and many aren't free. Seedr's free service allows for a single parallel-download (meaning one loaded into your folder at a time), up to two gigabytes, with ways to earn or pay for more space and parallels. I'm not even a power user who'd need to upgrade to paid amounts, yet I'm going to shell out soon for the paid account just because of how much Seedr has helped me.

Don't tell anybody I said you could do nefarious torrent stuff though. Keep it hushy.
