What are torrents?

Answer 1

.torrent is simply a file extension used by a BitTorrent client or other peer-to-peer programs that use the BitTorrent protocol.

To download torrent files (.torrent) from any website you first need a program that will let you download those files in that format. A very reliable torrent downloading software is Utorrent, which can be downloaded for free from:

www.utorrent.com/download.php

After downloading and installing Utorrent, you can simply go to any of the torrent websites I've listed below and search for torrent files. Remember that when you download the torrents, it will ask you whether to open or save the file. Select the 'Open with' option, and make sure the listed program to open with is 'Utorrent'.

Here are some of the most popular torrent listing websites:

- www.piratebay.org

- www.demonoid.com

- www.isohunt.com (best layout and forums)

A torrent is a small text file associated with specific content. When a torrent is opened in a bittorrent program (popular ones are uTorrent, vuze.com, torrentsafe.com etc.), it sets up communications so that transfer of the associated content begins. The transfer of the content is done using the bandwidth of the active users on the torrent.

A torrent is basically a file that has been compiled and is open for download. The file gets transfered through a system of seeds and leechers. A seeder helps give the file to the leechers. Meaning that if you have the more seeders giving the files to the leechers, your going to have a quicker download. A leecher is the person who is downloading the file.
