You first download a p2p program either Bittorent or U-torrent and install it on your pc. Usually they are programmed so that when you click a torrent, it downloads in the program (bittorent/utorrent). When you want to download, you first search for what you want to download on a search engine. Click the torrent and it will open in your program. . .there you can monitor the progress of your download. |

you can download anything free with torrents, in fact most of my games and apps are torrent downloads. But the downside is that hackers embed worms and viruses that make your system open to them whenever you go online.I use a very secure system, so if you need any file at all, reply this post and i'll help you download it, but it'll cost u a little. |

basically you need a torrent service e.g bit torrent or utorrent you need to down load a seed when you get the seed it would use the torrent service to download the software, or document you want . macc800:^^^^pay attention to this as well |

A torrent file is a small file that is stored on servers called Bittorrent trackers. When a user downloads a torrent file, he/she opens it in a Bittorrent client which reads the file. The file contains the address of the tracker, which the client reports to, announcing that it is present and requesting peers. This is the first `scrape`. The tracker returns the IP addresses of some other users who are downloading the same file. Some of these peers may have 100 percent of the file. If this is the case, they are referred to as `seeds` or `seeders`. Peers who have less than 100 percent of the file are referred to as `leeches` or `leechers`. The client connects to these peers and begins requesting `pieces` of the file. Files that are transmitted via Bittorrent are broken into pieces during the creation of the torrent. The size of each piece is determined by the creator of the torrent. Each piece has a unique md5 hash. Therefore, if a user downloads 99% of a file, and a piece fails the hash check, they do not have to redownload the entire file; they only have to redownload the piece that failed the hash check. This ensures that the file is an exact duplicate of the original. Bittorrent is one of the more popular methods of file transfer these days since it is so inexpensive. The only server that is needed is the server that runs the tracker software. Trackers use web interfaces to allow users to download the torrent files. All other data transfer is done by the peers themselves. There is no centralised server as there are in many other filesharing protocols. |
