The 101 Guide to use torrent

Introduction

Most of us already heard about "Torrent", using torrent to download a file is the easiest and most convenient way to download a file, there is no "interrupted download" with torrent, because you download a file piece by piece and when you shutdown your PC you can still resume it the next time you open it, it's also easier to find a software,movie,song or other files (legal or illegal). But many people don't know how to use this amazing software, in this article I will teach you how to use it.

Downloading the software
Bittorrent: http://www.bittorrent.com/downloads/
Utorrent: http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/complete?os=mac

You need to download the software first, there are different torrent engines (I prefer uTorrent), so you can use whatever you want.



Looking for a torrent file

Now that you have a software to download a torrent file, the next thing we will do is to find what to download, in this tutorial we will download a Men in Black 3 movie.






















First search for something you want to download and add a "Torrent" in it, in this case this are the top results for that torrent, try to download a torrent file on trusted sites like thepiratebay, isohunt and other sites.

Choosing the best torrent:

When choosing what torrent file to download we must consider some factors.

1. Video Quality (For movies): Quality copy of newly released movies are hard to find because there are no DVDRip version yet, so your best shot is to look for a Cam version of the movie and look for the comments about its quality.

2. Seeders and Leechers: This is a very important part of a torrent, a healthy torrent usually has 1,000+ seeders. Seeders are computers that has the complete the file where you can download it, leechers are people who are downloading that file too, so it is good to choose a torrent with 5:1 ratio of seeders and leechers for a fast download.

3. Comment and ratings: Some losers will try to upload a file with binded virus in it, so try to read the comment first if it is a legit copy or if its working or not.


Downloading the torrent:


There are two ways to download a torrent:

Using magnet links: When you click a magnet link (magnet icon or sometimes in text) your torrent engine will open and ask if you want to download it. (Image Below)


Using .torrent file: You can also download the .torrent file, just click the part where it says "Download .torrent" or "Download Torrent" then you'll be prompted to save it, when you finish downloading it you can drag it inside your torrent engine.

Open your file:

When you finish downloading the torrent you can now right-click it (in torrent engine) and click "Open Containing Folder" in this torrent you'll see a .avi file and that is your downloaded file, you can now watch and enjoy it.



Speed Up the download:

To increase the download speed simply click Options -- Preferences -- Bandwidth.
Then change Global maximum number of connections into higher number (5000 for example) also change the "Maximum number of connected peers per torrent to something like 1000.

Note: This will only work if you have a fast internet.

For question, suggestion and violent reaction just leave a comment and we'll try to answer it as far as we can.
