Advantages If you lose your internet connection or for some unforeseen reason your system shuts down, you don't have to start from scratch. Once your internet connection is restored or you are back online, the download will resume. You can download your torrent files faster than the regular ones. Also, even if your internet speed is slow, it will not take ages to download your files via torrents. Disadvantages You cannot know the contents of your torrents until after you have completed downloading them while you're downloading your torrent files, they are uploading at the same time and this may add some pressure on your internet bandwidth.
Your upload speed could be slow because there are some issues with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or errors in your broadband router configuration or there are some technical issues with your home network.

Your files transfer might because your internet is slow or you are editing the selected file. In this case, please check our answer to "Why is my upload speed slow?" Sometimes the file transfer does not complete if you're moving or editing the selected file. In such instances, the Surge Send platform will have a hard time assessing the correct file size and it will in turn stall the transfer. Please ensure you have finished working on a file before selecting it for transfer. Another great way to ensure your transfers is by creating a .zip file of all your files slotted for transfers. Transferring files from your hard drives or USB drives might also cause stalling of your transfer. We recommend that you copy the files to your computer before transferring them.

No need to start from scratch.
