How to Download Files using Torrents for Free
In this tutorial I will give few basics about torrents and how you can download Video files and tons of GB’s [movies , music , games, software’s] for free . Unlike direct downloads from sites , Torrents don’t have link failures. You can resume download at any time and select your own download speed [dependent on network conditions].
What are Torrents ?
Torrent is a special form of file that is used in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. These files contain the information of the actual file to be downloaded. Torrent files are usually smaller than 1 MB.
What is P2P ?
P2P is a network of computers which communicate with each other by running P2P software (Bittorent, uTorrent, Vuze, Limiwire etc).
Unlike downloads from the Web, torrents do not download from a single source while requesting for a file. Rather, torrents contain specific data that multiple computers on the network can access (using torrent clients) to send various parts of the requested file to other computers. Computers share a single file in a P2P network simultaneously. By using torrents one can download small bits of a file from dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of sources (computers), hence even huge files can be downloaded very quickly.
How to download using Torrent ?
First download a free torrent client like Bittorrent or uTorrent and install in your computer.
Now look for torrent files freely available on the internet . I am listing few popular torrent sites below.
Open any site listed above and enter your search term in the search box as shown below. The search results will come up as shown. Now click on the search result which you wish to download.
The torrent page will appear with the option to download the file in your computer. Here you will also find the details about the actual file that will be downloaded by the torrent. Also few user comments about the torrent to help you decide about the quality of the file , since you don’t know until you’ve downloaded.
After the torrent is downloaded in your PC , it will automatically be associated and downloaded by your torrent client.Mine was Bittorrent.
[ Click to Enlarge ]

Nice Article But Beware of Downloading Zip Files torrents because software cracked in these zip files always contains trojans, Virus, Spywares and keyloggers that will harm our computer’s heath. nice work keep it up
i dont agree with the guy above, only 20% of them have bad things, 80% are fully working genuine cracks..
also out of the 20% detection , 15% are false detection by the antivirus or any other program, because the some Cracks/patches/keygens works the same way and same level as a real virus but in a controlled manner to make your software fullversion or act like fullversion.
I agree with you Technokid. I feel there are few unscrupulous people who spreade this kind of stuff to make people scraed of downloading these stuff which are otherwise fake alerts
great work
I have always loved watching my movies online and it is so easy these days.
