Torrents- What a source

Torrents - a technology which enables access to files which people on the internet have chosen to share.

You need some program like utorrent, bit torrent, etc. for this. Download and install anyone of the torrent software. Then search file in google with torrent as source. For good torrents, comments from other users help a lot. Take time to read them and then only decide to download the .torrent file. Open the .torrent seed file in your PC and your torrent software will start downloading the file in parts.

For demo search torrent in youtube and watch the videos there.

CAUTION- The material in the torrents is sometimes illegal; torrents-based file sharing has been used by many to gain access to or to provide copyrighted material to others. So take good caution of the law prevailing in your country.  This post does not endorse any misuse of the law and the author cannot be held responsible for your actions.

In layman's language, torrent is a file sharing program from peer to peer network.  Explained below.

In usual downloads we all get the file from some server but in torrent we all are server as well as file seeker from each other, means we download different pieces of a file from others' computers, where that piece of file is residing and simultaneously giving the desired pieces of the file to other seekers in a peer to peer network.

The technology has been used/abused by many to get books, software, movies - i.e., any sort of file/s the various peers (users of torrent) choose to share (with other torrent users).  From the author's point of view, torrents is just a robust way of sharing files on the internet (a server can go down, but because in torrent technology, various peers' (torrent users') machines form part of the server infrastructure, hence there are several servers hopefully available at any moment, so if some of the machines are 'down', the file may still be accessed using other servers (which servers to use for download is usually chosen automatically by the program).
