"Now when I type in rutracker.org everything is in russian"

You have two main solutions:

PAGE TRANSLATION

1) Use Chrome, go to rutracker.org, right-click on the page and, in the context menu, click on "Translate to English". This will translate the *CURRENT* page.

or...

FULL WEBSITE AUTO-TRANSLATION

1) Open https://translate.google.com
2) In the left box, paste "https://rutracker.org/forum/index.php". Make sure you set the language to "Russian" (AutoDetect usually fails here).
3) A new blue URL/link will appear inside the right box. Click on it and rutracker's page will open. From now on, inside THIS tab, you will be able to navigate the russian rutracker site, *WITH AUTOMATIC LIVE TRANSLATION TO ENGLISH* in all pages.

Alternatively, you may skip steps 1), 2) & 3) and always use the following link, instead:

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Frutracker.org%2Fforum%2Findex.php

How is that..? I surely see benefits torrents offer.. but speed? If you copy, debrid and throw those 50 links in your favorite dl manager you are going (your) full speed, w/ torrent it really depends. Only private ones sort of guarantee decent speeds.
Also, from the legal POV things are very different. So I would advise to get as much as possible from, say - sister site. There others take the heat for you.

I could write in Cyrillic in elementary.. have to get in shape again!

Same here !

 

@AudioTiger Thanks man for the tip

@TaxiDriver I am an "old school" web user so for me the easiest/fastest way to download big files is through torrent. But I get your point.

I always feared downloaders because of passed bad experience. Probably there are some new ones more secure and reliable, but then again, I have no experience at all with these new tools (well for me at least, this is new as I have never used it with sister site and don't know where to start).

I am a windows user and as mentionned previously, using firefox. So any tip on how to use downloaders would be welcome as well. Its probably time for me to "update" my way of doing things !!!
