How to download and run torrents

A leecher is a user that is downloading, but is not currently seeding. A leecher becomes a seeder when the full file has been downloaded. If there are significantly more leechers than seeders, the amount of bandwidth you receive will be lower, resulting in slower downloads.

Choose a torrent with a good size versus quality. This is especially important for video files. Because compression can affect quality, smaller files will often look and sound significantly poorer than the same video with a larger size. On the flipside, downloading a larger file can take significantly longer depending on your connection. Read as many comments as possible to determine if other users feel that the quality of the file is good and worth your time.

Some trackers have a rating system which allows users to vote on if the file is good or not. Download a magnet link if available. These files are slightly different than a standard torrent file. They match content based on a unique identifier that can then be accessed without the use of central trackers.

Make sure that you can run the content. Torrents can be used to transfer any file type. Because of this, the file you download may be one that you are not familiar with.

VLC Player is a free, open-source media player that can play virtually any media file that you download. ISO files are disc images, and either need to be burned or mounted in a virtual drive in order to run them.

Beware of viruses. Because torrents often exist in a legal gray area, there is no oversight as to the kinds of files that are made available. This means that hackers will embed viruses in torrents that they hope to spread to other users.

These are often included in popular searches in order to get the most victims possible. Scan every file that you download for viruses. Try to download files that have been released by trusted sources in the community. Always check comments and ratings to see if anyone else experienced virus attacks with the torrent. Part 2. The BitTorrent protocol lets you exchange or distribute data over the Internet. There's no central server involved; data is downloaded from other users seeders. You need a client application that will connect to the host and manage the download.

There are multiple clients available for free online. The torrent file that you download from the tracker site is very small, usually only a few KB in size. This file does not contain the content that you are downloading. The file acts as a guide for downloading pieces of the file from other clients.

Use the BitTorrent client you installed in the previous step to open the file. Your torrent client should be configured to automatically open torrent files. If yours is not, you can drag the torrent file into the client window to add it to the download queue.

Depending on how your torrent client is configured, you may be asked where you want to download the content to when you open the torrent file. Select a location that you can remember. You can check the progress of your download in the torrent client. Most clients will allow you to see how many seeders you are connected to as well.

Torrent clients will automatically try to download at the fastest speed allowed by your connection. Downloading multiple files at once will slow the overall speed of each file. From here you can limit the download speed and upload speed. This is useful if you want to stream a movie while the file is downloading. Add more trackers to the torrent. If you are having difficulty connecting to enough seeders to download the file, you can try adding more trackers to the torrent.

Do not attempt this if you are using a private tracker, as you may get banned. Find a list of active trackers online. There are several websites that list active trackers.

Copy the list of trackers to your clipboard. Right-click on the torrent in the client. Select Properties from the menu. Select the General tab. You should see a list of trackers in a box there may be just one.

Paste the list that you copied into the box. You need a blank line in between each tracker that you enter. Press OK and the torrent will automatically try connecting to the new trackers. Access your downloaded content. Once the download is complete, you can use the files that you downloaded as you normally would.

If you move or delete the files, you will lose the ability to seed. You cannot start using the file before it is finished downloading.

Part 3. Seed after you finish downloading. Once you finish downloading the content of a torrent file, you become a seeder. This means that you are uploading data to other clients connected to the tracker.

Seeding is what keeps a torrent community alive. Without seeders, no one can download the files. While it's not required, it is considered a courtesy to seed for some time after the download finishes. Maintain a good ratio. If you are using a private community, you will most likely be expected to maintain a positive ratio with the community.

This means that you will need to upload at least as much as you download. Leave your torrent client running in the background. Most internet service plans have slower upload speeds than download speeds. This means that uploading to maintain your ratio can take significantly longer than downloading the equivalent amount. Leave your torrent program running in the background while you go about your daily tasks, and you'll see your upload totals skyrocket.

Running a torrent client in the background should not have a large effect on web browsing or word processing. More intensive applications such as streaming video and playing games may benefit from exiting the torrent application first.
