How To Torrent

Some of you are already wondering what Torrenting means. Torrenting is when you can share files with other peers through internet from one location to another, this is also known as P2P, or peer to peer sharing. So this means anything that anyone else wants to share you can download i.e. music, videos, programs, and pictures. If this sounds appealing to you then continue learning as I teach you how to torrent.

First there are many torrenting clients you can use such as: utorrent, bitorrent, limewire, and vuze. Personally my favorite is utorrent because it is the lightest and most efficient. So you can go here and download the latest utorrent program. Now you don't need to use this at all until later. So utorrent will download torrent files from the internet. These torrent files can be found anywhere on the internet and consist of things like music and movies. So you can go to Google and type in anything then torrent and you can download the torrent and then open it with utorrent or any client you may have downloaded. There are some websites that have good databases of torrents such as here and here. After you open it with a torrent client it will download to your computer. You have to be very careful while doing this though because people can share anything like illegal music and movies and viruses. To avoid viruses always check the comments of a torrent to see if people give it good reviews and say that it is virus free. There you have it now you can download anything you want to your computer from the internet.

Just because you use a bittorenting service doesn't mean that you're using it to download illegaly. Bittorenting is becoming a widely accepted method of distributing things quickly as many legitimate sites are using it as their way of downloading.

@silver, these "legitamate" sites are actually illegal. the law can still punish you for torrenting, its just that so many people do it, it would be unreasonable to try and punish everyone, similar to how drug use is now. Just downloading the program is not illegal, but using the program for what it is intended is. Why else do people download torrenting programs? Its like guns. Owning a gun is not illegal, but using a gun to kill a person is...

Ok, lets clear this up, torrenting is not illegal, per se. The act of torrenting, is in its base purely legal, its just using several people to seed information so that others can get it in a more timely manner. However, there are those out there who do use it for illegal activities, such as the torrenting of video games, movies, songs, programs, and others. However, there are also a lot of torrent sites out there that are used to torrent free-ware, that they have the right to share and distribute, but because of limitations on the server-side end of the developers, may need the help of seeders to help get its product spread.

Also, many legitimate non-freeware sites use torrenting to help increase download speeds, even Blizzard, the developer of Starcraft and World of Warcraft, in order to get high enough download speeds because of the large number of people downloading the product at once, they have people seed the files, just like in torrenting, in a completely legal way.

And, you countered your own argument by saying that owning a gun isn't illegal, but killing someone with it is. Torrenting isn't illegal, but downloading illegal materials is.
