first a few words on torrents
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used for distributing large amounts of data. BitTorrent is one of the most common protocols for transferring large files, and it has been estimated that it accounted for roughly 27–55% of all Internet traffic (depending on geographical location) as of February 2009.Programmer Bram Cohen designed the protocol in April 2001 and released a first implementation on July 2, 2001.[2] It is now maintained by Cohen’s company BitTorrent, Inc. There are numerous BitTorrent clients available for a variety of computing platforms.
And now the guide….
- 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.I personally recommend utorrent.To download it click here.
- Follow the instructions on downloading and installing your chosen client.
- Go to a torrent site and search for a file you want to download. torrentz.com,piratebay,extratorrent.com are the best in the business.
- 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.
- If it doesn’t open that way, just save the .torrent file to an easy to location and just double click on it.
Tips
- You can close your torrent program and turn off your computer when you need to. Most torrent programs will resume download process automatically when you start them back up. If the download doesn’t resume automatically, there should be an option to start downloading, by either right clicking on the file and choose “Start” or a button somewhere in the program.
- When looking for torrent files, try to find ones with plenty of Seeders. When searching for torrents, you can often sort the results by seeds, simply by clicking on the seeds column header.
- Seeders (Seeds): Are people who have a complete copy of the torrent’s files and are only uploading (sending) data to the people who are downloading (peers). One tip to get people like Warner Brothers and such is seed to a ratio of one or dont seed at all if you can, not saying seeding is bad but it does leave a trail to follow.
- Leechers (Peers): Are people who have a portion of the torrent’s files while they are downloading they are actively uploading to help others download more quickly.
Warnings
- Downloading torrents can slow your computer down depending on how well your computer performs. Recommended specs for each client vary, but on average you should have at least 512 MB of RAM and a 1 GHz CPU. You will also need space for the files you want to save.
- Keep your anti-virus program and its definitions fully up-to-date, downloaded software from ‘sharing’ sources carries a high risk of infection.
- Downloading torrents can slow your overall internet connection down if you don’t properly tweak your upload rate. DSL and Cable modems have problems downloading if you’re uploading at your maximum rate. Set your clients maximum rate to 80% of your maximum upload rate if you can adjust it. If you set your upload rate too low, your downloads will slow to a crawl.
