1. Find a torrent client application that will suit your needs. The BitTorrent protocol lets you exchange or distribute data over the Internet. There's no central server involved, i.e.data is downloaded from other users. What you need is a client application that will connect to the host and manage the download. There are plenty of client applications available. Some of the most common are:
   
   
   • µTorrent
   • Deluge
   • Vuze
   • Take a look at how each one works, and download the one that best fits your needs.
   • Follow the instructions on downloading and installing your chosen client.
2. 2
   Find a torrent file. The .torrent file is the first thing you need. This is a small file that points to the main file that you are wanting to download.
   
   
   • To find a torrent site, go to Google or Bing and enter "torrents" or simply click here.
     
     
   • You can even search for torrent files using one of the many torrent search engines. Here are several popular ones:
     
     
     • www.zoozle.org
     • www.torrentz.eu
     • www.piratebay.se
   • Search for your desired file (movies, mp3, games, software etc.) and choose a link from the results list.
   • Click on the "Get torrent" link in the page of your chosen file.
   • A download manager window will appear, asking you how you would like to open the file. Choose Bit torrent or any torrent software you've downloaded.
   • Change settings in the appearing window if you want. Click OK.
   • The torrent will start downloading.
   • If it doesn't open that way, just save the .torrent file in the download manager window, to an easy to locate place. Then open your torrent client and use the "Open Torrent" feature. Most torrent clients support drag-and-drop to add a torrent to the list.

   The download will start automatically. You may now go and do something to pass the time. Torrents download in the background, and while they do not require your attention, they will require a fair amount of time. Hours, in many cases.
   
   
4. 4
   Some websites have "magnet links"(the above stated "Get torrent link"), which are customized URL's that communicate directly with BitTorrent applications. These links download the .torrent files from the "swarm"—other people uploading and downloading the file. Magnet links can be easier than traditional .torrent files, but may take a few seconds longer to start downloading as the metadata is generated.
   
   

Tips:

A video showing how to download and use Torrents.

• A practical tip is to stick with downloading torrents that have a large user base. This means download only those torrents that many people have downloaded and uploaded, or that have been active for a long time. The logic here is that nobody will seed a torrent that has a virus in it and therefore the torrent won't be very popular and won't be seeded. Be wary of the week old torrent with one or two people seeding it.
• When looking for torrent files, look for those with plenty of seeders so that the file downloads quickly. When searching for torrents, you can often sort the results by seeds, simply by clicking on the seeds column header.
• Most torrent programs will resume the download process automatically when you start them back up. If the download doesn't resume automatically, there should be an option to start downloading by either right clicking on the file and choosing Start, or a button somewhere in the program.
• There are other torrent clients (programs) that can be used so do your research on these also. The most popular torrent programs are uTorrent, Azureus and BitTorrent. use uTorrent because they port forward for you now, useful if you have a home network.
• Leechers (Peers) : Leechers are people who are currently downloading a file. Leechers can become seeders after downloading the full file.
• You can leave the torrent program running overnight to download while you're away from the computer, or close it and turn off the computer to save power. Most torrent programs will have an option in Preferences to start up with your computer and this option can be enabled or disabled by opening "Run..." from the Start Menu and typing in msconfig.
• There are Torrent search engines that search the popular torrent clients (programs). This saves you time by not having to search each individual torrent client site.
• Seeders (Seeds): Seeders are people who have a complete copy of the torrent's files and are uploading (sending) data to the people who are downloading (receiving).
• You can set the options in your web browser to download to a specific folder and then, using the options in your torrent client, enable torrents to be automatically loaded from that same folder you have chosen. This way, the torrents will automatically load for you with minimal effort.
