It depends on how many people are seeding and what they have their upload limits set at.
*advertiser censored* is generally fragmented and renamed extensively, so there would not be that many seeds available for any particular file. Plus, there is a ton of it, with not that many people seeding individual files. Music or movies are different because they typically have relatively few renames and large seed reservoirs. Downloading those sorts of files is much faster as a result.
Torrents are efficient if you have a lot of people sharing a file, much less so if there are few and those few are protecting their bandwidth. If you are trying to download a 1GB file with 10 or 20 seeds, all set at 2 kpbs (or something like that), it will take a few weeks to complete it.
The computer also needs to be running constantly during this process as well, if you use it for an hour or so every week, with someone else using it the rest of the time (and switching it off), it would literally take months. Like I said, whoever downloaded all this stuff was living at the house and was the primary user of the computer without question.
I still have major doubts it would take as long as you claim. To be honest it just seems like your trying to make excuses to defend Shawn which is kind of admirable I suppose. I have no idea about child *advertiser censored* but I imagine a file would have hundreds or thousands of pictures in and these could be transferred quickly. Not just that you could make a file of these pictures and email them or send them over msn etc . Did the police say they was specifically downloaded that matter or that they was on the computer?
