    Install a torrent client. In order to use torrent files, you will need to install a torrent client. Download and install uTorrent, a free BitTorrent client, if you don't already have it.
    1. Other torrent clients include Vuze and BitTorrent.

    Search for an MS Office or MS Word file to download. Search the internet for a Mac Torrent file to download. You will likely find many possible links, so you will need to ensure that you are downloading a good file.
    1. Look at the Seeders (S) and Leechers (L) count to see how good the connection is. More seeders means a faster connection and also increases the chance that the torrent is clean.
    2. Read the comments for the torrent you are downloading to ensure that other users were able to get it working OK and that they did not encounter any viruses.
    3. Mac operating systems are less susceptible to viruses than Windows operating systems are, but you are still not protected from everything. Torrent files are one of the most popular way to spread viruses, so be careful.
    4. Do not click on the ads that offer to speed up your downloading time. Download speed will depend mostly on your internet connection and the number of torrent seeders.
