Could someone tell me how a Torrent works?
I know it may seem like a dumb question, but I like to learn, that's
the only way I will find out how things work


Thanks in advance for helping me

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.

Torrent is the most popular way of downloading large files, including movies and games.

Downloading with a torrent is advantageous especially when downloading files, which are momentarily very popular and whitch lots of people are downloading. Because the more people download the file, the higher speed for everyone (see torrent principle).

* torrent is a file
* 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 anything through a torrent you need a torrent client

How to download files with a torrent?

Downloading with a torrent is actually very simple. You just need a rightly set torrent client (setting your connection speed is usually all you need to set). Then you open the torrent file inside your client, set a place where you want to download desired files and then just wait till it's downloaded. Downloading with a torrent is no more complicated than using any other p2p application, but even simpler.

Torrent clients

There is a large amount of free applications, that are able to download with torrents. You can choose here from the most commonly used (and also the best, they're most used for a reason).
Setting a torrent client
If there are no other complications, usually the only thing you need to set is your upload speed (your internet connection speed in the direction out from you). If you don't know it, you can easily find it out on speedtest.net (remember, 8kbps equals 1 KBps, so if you need your speed in kilobytes, divide the kbps by 8).
Download the clients
uTorrent client uTorrent

The most commonly used torrent client. It is very popular for its simplicity, reliability and also its size - only around 200KB. It has a very nice web site, including extensive forums - if you have any problems. The clear choice for newbies! The "u" at the beginning of the name means micro, they rather use "u" because it's easier to write and there are no problems with encoding.

download (version 1.7.7, 220KB)
Azureus torrent client Azureus

Another very favourite client, written in Java (You need to have JRE installed, but that is very common). It is highly customizable, whilst it has no complicated controls. This application is open-source. The program's logo is the Blue Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates azureus). The Azureus name was given to the project by co-creator Tyler Pitchford, who uses the Latin names of poison dart frogs as codenames for his development projects.

Thanks for the reply, although it seems greek to me, But I will read more on the link you provided, thanks again

You'll find is much much less geek once you download a client as TinyTaZZ has given you links to, and start your client up with a download. That's when it became clear for me. It's one of those things you need to actually "do" before you fully understand it. I know that won't make sense yet, but once you do it, it will.

now i know what, and how to download a torrent.
