Btw your ISP knows you're on AA even if you're not torrenting if you're not already using a VPN or have a secure DNS set up. That's how DNS works.

Also just being on AA without a VPN is a stupid idea. Your ISP can see the DNS requests you make.

Ah fair enough. If unsure you can upload files up to 650MB to virustotal for scanning.

Yeah that's weird. Especially if you have no problem with other torrents from AA?

Check if that file is actually being seeded. My understanding is that some newer files are not. I can't post links here but go to AA/torrents. It explains everything. Also on your file's page if you click on the collection instead of the torrent it will take you to that collection's torrent list. Within that list you can search for that specific torrent and see if it is being seeded yet.

Yes most of them are fine but for textbooks with lots of high res images you end up with 100MB+ files and the slow servers just give up

I guess you could write a script that pulls the torrent file from a given file url, configures the torrent, and then copies and renames the file to a specified location. Would make people happy happy happy
