Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Today, I am going tell What is torrent all about and a Guide to download files using Torrents.

What is Torrent ?

Torrent is also called as BitTorrent. Torrent is a technology that is used to distribute large amounts of data widely without incurring the corresponding consumption in costly server and bandwidth resources. It is a Peer to Peer P2P technology.
More on this at Torrent

More explanation to non-techies:

As i said before, Torrent is P2P technology. It enables us to share files with our peers. Suppose A has a file and wants to share it with others. Using Torrents, B can download the file from A’s computer. Now, if C wants to download it, he can do it from A and B as B has the file too. Now if another user D wants to download it, he can do it from A, B and C. Even if A stops sharing it (this can happen when A goes off from the network, switches off his computer or intentionally wants to stop sharing it), D can still download it from B and C.

Torrent network is very vast. So normally, if you want to download a file that is popular, many users will be sharing it for you.

Terms used in Torrents world:

Seeding : Sharing is called seeding, From the above example. A,B,C are seeders.
Leaching : Downloading is called leaching. From the above example. D was leacher.

What is required to start downloading?

Torrent Client Software
A Torrent Search Engine Site
A Torrent file. (A file with .torrent extension)

Below is the step by step guide to download stuff using torrents ( I have used BitComet torrent client software as an example):

Torrent Clients:

BitComet ( My Favourite one) – BitComet
uTorrent ( Most popular and light weight. needs very less memory. I tried, but i use Bit Comet) – uTorrent

Where to get torrent files:

Private torrent sites:

Private torrent are great place to download and share the stuff you need. You really get good speeds and get a variety of files.

The torrent sites that I visit are:

BwTorrents ( you find hindi/bollywood movies, Telugu/Tamil/many more regional movies, Cricket torrents too)
DesiTorrents ( you find hindi/bollywood movies, Telugu/Tamil/many more regional movies, Cricket torrents too )
Demonoid

All the above sites requires invites before you can create an account, if you guys need invites to bwtorrents or desitorrents or demonoid, post your email id, I will see if you can be invited in case I have an invite.

Desi torrent sites:
DesiTorrents ( I download most of the latest movies from here.)
BwTorrents
