Long wait times! And if you're on prepaid internet cards, you'd better stock up three or more worth 20 h tops. I once downloaded a full set of ebooks worth 230 MB, took me a couple of weeks to finish. On the other hand, if what you're going to download are albums, say, from LegalTorrents[1], you'r gonna have to wait about 5 to 9 h until you get a 70 MB rip...
