[nfbcs] Downloading Bit torrent

[Gary Wunder]

Hello Marvin. I don't really know the answer to your question, but my guess 
is that if you intentionally interrupt a  download, it won't resume where 
you last left off. I think some of the software used for large downloads is 
smart enough to understand when it has been unintentionally interrupted, but 
I think turning your system off is probably a different thing. If you don't 
want to leave your computer on for an extended period of time, perhaps you 
should download fewer episodes and go back to the site periodically, 
preferably early in the day so that you can still turn your computer off in 
the evening.

I was not aware of the site.
