Put.io

Put.io is a brand new service that allows users to download torrent files at blazing speeds to a remote server. Once finished, users can download the files to their home computers or stream video files directly to their Internet browser or media player. The Turkey-based start-up Put.io markets itself as a premier torrent download service, but it's more than that. In addition to torrents the service supports Rapidshare links, while users can also use Put.io as an online backup platform by uploading files from their computer. Downloading torrents files through Put.io is achieved with just a few clicks. All it takes is pasting in a torrent URL and Put.io takes care of the download through its connection. Once the download is finished, users can transfer it to their computer, or stream it directly from the remote server if it's a video file. The user interface and design of the site is intuitive and easy to use, but perhaps more importantly it was extremely fast during our tests and easily maxed out our connection. However, when more people join and the load on the servers goes up, there could be a degradation in performance.
