How do you use Utorrent to download files?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some sites let you download files that have the extension .torrent (examplefile.torrent) Which is a compressed file on the internet that, for you to use, needs to be uncompressed. Open the file with uTorrent, and select where you want it to be extracted to. This can be a while, since uTorrent has to get the file, find seeders(People who allow other people to use the speed from there internet connection, and then download it. A one gigabyte file may take up to a day on a slow connection or if there are no seeders. Hope this helps!

What means seeding in utorrent?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you have a download 100% completed you become a seed.

utorrent will keep uploading (seeding) to other users so they can also complete their download.

Keep in mind: If nobody would seed you could never complete a download.

So please leave utorrent open seeding as long as you can to help others.

How does uTorrent work?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

BitTorrent is a protocol that enables fast downloading of large files using minimum Internet bandwidth. It costs nothing to use.Unlike other download methods, BitTorrent maximizes transfer speed by gathering pieces of the file you want and downloading these pieces simultaneously from people who already have them. This process makes popular and very large files, such as videos.

Files are obtained from websites that contain hundreds of thousands of "torrent" files. These files are incredibly small in size, and are used in conjunction with a BitTorrent "client," which is the name for a program used for downloading and managing files. The torrent contains information and directions for the client to begin the download of the actual requested files

The concept is peer to peer sharing of files(like online sharing of files).A person shares the file he has by using a torrent client (a software which downloads the original file you wanted say "mymovie.mp4") and you download the file using the same class of software.concepts include "seeding" and "leeching".

you start with downloading a .torrent file i.e say... "mymovie.torrent".This file is a small file which your client uses to know where the real download file i.e mymovie.mp4 is located and manages and downloads the original file for you.

the original file from a "seeder" (People who have the complete file) is broken into N pieces and distributed among the "leechers" (the one who are downloading the file) like us who are trying to download,without redundancy.so u download one 1 piece at a time to complete the file.once you complete your download (i.e you have the total N pieces of the file => you have the complete file) you become a "seeder" and you seed the file for other "leechers".this goes on and on....

Please refer to the concepts given below to understand.

The user who first uploaded the file or files in question acts as the first "seeder." A seeder is a user who is in possession of the completed file and has made it available for others to download. Users in search of the file connect to as many different seeders as possible at one time and download pieces of the completed file. Because only part of the file is being downloaded from many different users, this greatly improves the rate at which a person can download a file. It also relieves bandwidth and hardware use for the originator of the file. People who have only a partially completed version of the file in question are called "leechers." These people are also uploading whatever parts of a file they have at the same time as they are downloading the remainder. This process improves download rates for everyone involved, as the more seeders and leechers a user connects to, the more parts of a file they can download at once, which means the file will finish downloading faster. When a user is down downloading a file, they themselves become seeders for others to download from.

How can you upload files in to piczo site?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are talking about downloading single files like Zips, word doc's or other such files then purly open up a Text Box or Html box and type in the following (with your link in the right place).

<a href="MYFILE.MP3" target="_blank">Download this file!</a>

Ensuring the MYFILE is the URL of the file and .MP3 is the format. On the internet urls maybe case Senitive.

An example:

<a href="http://www.soundfoundation.co.UK/mp3/There%20must%20be%20a%20God%20-%20Keith%20James.mp3">Download!</a>

Also note you don't need the 'target=_blank" but if your sending it to an image or mp4 then best to inculde it (the page will open in another window).

If you turn off your computer can you resume the torrent you were downloading or will you have to restart?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

if you were to restart your computer while downloading or uploading a torrent it would stop temporarily while windows shut down but then resume after start-up. this will happen automatically as long as you have your torrent program set to start on windows start up (this is the default setting). otherwise file sharing will resume as soon as you run your torrent program.

Why do torrents upload when you are downloading?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First thing you should know is that if your upload speed is high, it drastically increases your download speed as well.

When you are downloading/uploading the file, you are referred to as the 'leecher'. Once your download is complete, you will see that your Bittorent client will keep on uploading the file, since downloading takes much less time than uploading. Once you have completely uploaded the file, you are known as a 'seeder'. The more the seeders on a torrent, the faster the downloads. That's why its called P2P (peer-to-peer), so you download and share at the same time!

The ability to share the same data resource with multiple applications or users. It implies that the data are stored in one or more servers in the network and that there is some software locking mechanism that prevents the same set of data from being changed by two people at the same time.

What is the difference between u-torrent and BitTorrent?

User Avatar

.torrent is a file extension used by a BitTorrent client or other peer-to-peer programs that use the BitTorrent protocol (protocol is a set of laws)

Utorrent is a Bittorent client which can be used to download the .torrent files.
