Torrents Very Short Review

If you don't know what are torrents then I assure, you are going to love this article. Actually a torrent is a protocol for peer to peer file sharing. If you don't know what torrent means already, then I am very sure that one line definition did not make sense at all. What that means is if I have a file of 700 MB (yeah, those DVDrip/avi files) and host it in my server for my dear pals to download, and if 100 people download from my website, then I have to pay for 700 * 100 = 70GB of bandwidth, plus server maintenance etc.. Anyway don't stuck on it and just go toward simplicity. Torrents are files hosted online of full version software etc. You can download torrents for 100% with a free torrent software. You can do latest games, applications etc for free on torrents sites.

How to get started?

Ok I teach you how to download a torrent step by step. Although, you have to be careful because many torrents are illegal and violate copyright laws.



1.Find a torrent program that will suit your needs, the most common clients are uTorrent, Deluge, Vuze, BitTorrent, and Opera. There are plenty of other clients available as well.

2.Follow the instructions on downloading and installing your chosen client.

3.Go to a torrent site and search for a file you want to download. The Pirate Bay and Mininova are popular sites.

4.Once you have found the desired file on the torrent site, click the "Download This Torrent" (or however they word it). Usually, the web browser's file download manager will ask what to do with this file. You want to open the file with your torrent program.

5.If it doesn't open that way, just save the .torrent file to an easy to locate place. Then open your torrent client and use the "Open Torrent" feature(Most torrent clients support click & drag).

6.The download will start automatically. You may now go and do something to pass the time, because torrents do not require your attention and will download in the background.
