I could not believe when one of my uncles told me that you can literally download almost everything online from the net. I searched for torrent sites and found that it is true that you can easily download anything from the net. The softwares or games which I can't find from stores, I search at torrent sites and download it. My internet connection is not very fast so I prefer to download only e-books. You can download softwares, e-books, audio books, games from these torrents sites.
Let's learn about 'torrents':
Torrent is the most popular way of downloading large files, including movies and games (remember legality of downloading)
What the term 'torrent' means ?
'Torrent is a small file (around few kilobytes) with the suffix .torrent, which contains all the information needed to download a file the torrent was made for. That means it contains file names, their sizes, where to download from and so on. You can get torrents for almost anything on lots of web sites and torrent search engines.'
With torrents you can download almost everything on the net.
Every file (or set of files) need to have an unique torrent file to download it. To download through a torrent you need a torrent client
Mininova is the biggest torrent search engine and directory on the net. They provide the answer to many questions related to torrents.
Is downloading torrent files illegal?
No, torrent files are not copyrighted, so this is allowed. However, opening a torrent file in your BitTorrent client may start the process of downloading (and possibly uploading) copyrighted content. Depending on the circumstances, such as the content in question and the country you're living in, this might be illegal. In some countries, it is illegal to download and upload copyrighted material. In this case, make sure that you only download unlicensed content via BitTorrent.
What are seeds?
A seed is a client that has a complete copy of the data of a certain torrent. Once your BitTorrent client finishes downloading, it will remain open until you click the Finish button (or otherwise close it). This is known as being a seed or seeding.
What are leechers?
A leecher is a client that is currently downloading the data of a torrent. A leecher does not have the complete file, otherwise it would be called a seed.
What is a tracker?
A BitTorrent tracker is a service on the internet that assists in the communication between BitTorrent clients. When you open a torrent file, your machine contacts the tracker and asks for a list of seeds and leechers to connect to.
What are all those .rar, .r01, .r02 files?
These files are so-called RAR archives. You need to install WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the data of the files. WinRAR can be downloaded from the WinRar website, 7-Zip from 7-Zip.org.
