Find a torrent tracker website (a tracker is a server that records the activity of its members using protocols). There are many reliable torrent listing websites. There are two main types of torrent trackers: public trackers and private trackers.

Public trackers are visible to everyone. You will find many sites when searching for torrent trackers. Due to their public nature, many torrents are tracked by rights holders, and downloading them can result in action from your internet provider.

Personal trackers require an invitation. You cannot access these sites until you receive an invitation from another member. They often come with requirements, such as sharing data equivalent to the amount you download. Personal trackers are less prone to copyright issues.

Find the file you need. Most public trackers have new shows, movies, albums, and games, as well as popular older files.

Use common abbreviations to find the file you want. For example, if you want to find episode 2 of season 3 of a show, search for the phrase s03e02.

Download a popular torrent. The download speed of a torrent file depends on the number of seeders (uploaders) of that file. A seeder is a person who uses the torrent and downloads the file.

Most torrent sites allow you to sort your search results by the number of seeders. Look for the file with the most seeders. This not only helps you download faster, but it also provides some confirmation that the file is real and virus-free.

The number of leechers also affects download speed. A leecher is a user who is downloading, but has not yet uploaded. A leecher becomes a seeder when the file is completely downloaded. If there are more leechers than seeders, the bandwidth will decrease, and the download speed will be slower.

Choose torrents based on size and quality. This is especially important for video files. Because compression can affect quality, smaller files will often have poorer image and sound quality than larger files.

On the other hand, downloading a larger file will take longer, depending on your connection.

Read the comments below to see what other users think about the quality of the file. Some trackers have a rating system that allows users to vote on whether the file is good or bad.

Download a magnet link if available. These files are a little different from standard torrent files. They list content based on a special identifier that can be accessed without a server. A magnet link is a simple line of text, you don't need to download the torrent file.

Make sure you can run the content. Torrents can be used to transfer any type of file. Therefore, you may not be familiar with the file you just downloaded. Read the description to make sure you have the necessary program to open the file you just downloaded.

VLC Player is free, open source software that can be used to view any media file you download.

ISO files are disc images, they need to be burned to disc or mounted in a virtual drive to run.

Beware of viruses. Torrents often exist in the gray area, without the same oversight as pre-made files. This means that hackers can embed viruses in torrents and spread them to other users. They are often included in popular search results to increase the number of victims.

Scan all downloaded files for viruses.

Try to download files posted by trusted sources in the community.

Always check comments and reviews to see if anyone got a virus from this torrent link.

Get the content

Install torrent software. The BitTorrent protocol allows you to exchange or contribute data over the internet. There is no need for a central server, data is downloaded from other users (seeders). You need torrent software to connect to the server and manage the download. There are many completely free software available online. Here are some popular software:

µTorrent

Vuze

Open the torrent file. The torrent file you downloaded from the tracker is very small, usually only a few KB. This file does not contain the content you want to download. The file only serves as a guide for downloading each part of the file from other software. Use the BitTorrent software you installed in the previous step to open the file.

Your torrent client is set to automatically open torrent files. If not, you can drag and drop the torrent file into the client window to add it to your downloads.

Set your download location. Depending on how your torrent client is set up, you may be asked to select a download location when you open the torrent file. Choose a location that you can remember.

Track your download. You can check your download progress on your torrent client. Most clients allow you to see how many seeders are connected. Your torrent client will automatically download at the fastest possible speed.

Downloading multiple files at once will slow down your download speed.

If you don't want to use the maximum bandwidth for downloading, right-click on the software and select Bandwidth Allocation (the wording is different in different software). Here you can limit the download and upload speed. This is useful if you want to watch a movie online while downloading a file.

Add trackers to your torrent. If you are having trouble connecting to a seeder to download your file, you can add multiple trackers to your torrent. Don't do this with personal torrents, or you may get banned.

Find a list of active trackers online. There are many websites that list active trackers. Copy that list to your clipboard.

Right click on the torrent in the software. Select Properties on the menu.

Select the General tab. You will see a list of trackers (there may only be 1). Paste the list you just copied into that field. Each tracker needs to be separated by a line. Click OK and the torrent will automatically connect to the new tracker.

Access downloaded content. Once downloaded, you can open the file as usual. If you move or delete the file, you will lose the ability to upload.

You can't open a file before it's completely downloaded. For example, you can't watch a video before it's downloaded. That's because the file is split into multiple parts and they're not downloaded in order.

Upload a Torrent File

Upload after you finish downloading. Once you have finished downloading the contents of a torrent file, you will become a seeder. This means that you are uploading data to other software that is connected to the tracker.

Uploading is how the torrent community is maintained. Without seeders, no one can download the file. While not required, it is considered polite to do so after you have completed your download.

Maintain a good ratio. If you use a private community, you should maintain a positive ratio with it. This means you should upload as much data as you download.

Leave the torrent program running. Most internet services have slower upload speeds than download speeds. This means that uploading to maintain your ratio will take longer than downloading. Leave the torrent program running while you do other things and you will see your uploads skyrocket.

Running a torrent client should not impact your web browsing or word processing. However, you should turn off torrents before running more intensive software like watching videos or playing games.
