Simple:

Use the regular tags that are used to link to another webpage - the tags, as follows:

Click to Download where address is the address to the file, file.exe is the file name (you can use any file name here) and click to download is the text you want displayed on the link.

By clicking the text of the link, the browser will open a box in which it can be opened once downloaded (for exe files, etc) or saved to disk.

If the file you are offering for downloading is a document or an image, the browser will usually display this instead, and the user will have to right-click to download. The files that are displayed on the browser automatically include, but are not limited to: .txt, .jpg, .gif. You might want to use "Right Click to Download" as the text on the link if this is the case.

If you upload a file onto your website, users using HTTP (The standard protocol when users use a browser, such as internet Explorer) can access these files automatically, assuming they are in your public root folder ("public_html", "www", so on). For example, if you put a file in [ (Root)/library/file.jpg ], a user could go to [ http://www.yourwebsite.com/library/file.jpg ] and view it, or download it.

During torrent download what it uploads?

The BitTorrent protocol, upon which torrent downloads rely, functions by sharing files between "peers" - lots of people running the same client. People with the whole file are called "seeders", and they will automatically share the file with others. People who haven't completed the file are called "leechers", and they'll download from seeders. When your torrent is uploading, you're sharing the parts of the file you already have with people who haven't got those bits. If you all keep uploading and downloading, you can assemble the file together completely. It's a good idea to let your torrent upload - you're being nice to other people who want the same file.

The torrent file that was I was downloading has been taking forever to load. It says it was 3.98 gigabytes and there was 3.00 left to download since the time I had downloaded it which was a day ago.?

With torrents you only receive the file as fast as the other people who are sharing it let you get it. Also another problem may be that nobody has the full file.
