Torrent Downloads

Hi Friends,

For most of you this will be a simple thing. But this is for people who are not aware of torrents.

Torrents are peer-to-peer sharing protocol used to transfer files of different sizes.

In HTTP protocol a dedicated server is required to host a file to offer it for download. i.e dedicated hardware and bandwidth is required. But in torrents this is over come.

Let us take an example. Suppose i have a video to share. I make a torrent and leave the file for upload for a minimum time. Let us assume 4 others downloaded this video and after that i stopped uploading it. Now this 4 will continue to upload it as long as they wish (maybe, when there is free bandwidth available). Thus say, 16 people download and they continue to upload. This chain keeps on going. Thus the availability of that video is ensured even though the creator is no longer uploading the original file. This is in short what torrent download means. Here the money charged to you for hosting a server is saved and you can download for free.

How to:
1. To download from torrent first you need a torrent client. There are many available for free. uTorrent, vuze, flashget etc. I am using vuze now. See screen shot. It has got a pleasing interface. and it gives me good speed also. you can download it from here:
http://www.vuze.com/Download.html

2. Once you have installed a torrent client. you can visit torrent sites and download torrents. Some of the sites are

www.kat.ph
www. isohunt.com
www.piratebay.org
www.sumotorrent.com
www.majaa.net (for indian especially south indian. you will need to register in this site)
go to any of these sites and search for the item you are looking for.

3. Once you find the required item, download that torrent. Open this torrent in the torrent client (vuze in my case) and click the start downloading. That's it you are done. Very soon you will have your favourite movie, song, application or game downloaded. When you search for a torrent if you see more than one, select the one with seeders/leechers(peers) ratio is maximum

seeder: person who has the complete copy of the file u r about to download.
peer: person who is downloading along with you. he is uploading at the same time, but he cannot give you the full file.

Screen shot: The picture above shows vuze in action in my computer. sorry for the poor quality. my download goes up to 210 kBps.



Netiquette: Once you downloaded, don't stop. you should seed to a fair amount. i.e if you downloaded 100mb file, you should upload at least 100mb. This will ensure that the torrent will be alive and others also can download.
