Spend enough time on the Internet or around tech-savvy types, and you’re bound to hear about BitTorrent. Likely, if you’re new to the concept, you have a few questions, and probably some misconceptions on what exactly torrenting is.

What is a torrent file? How do you use it? Is it safe? Is it legal? Torrenting can be a complicated process, so before we get into the meat of how to download and use torrent files safely and legally, let’s cover some important terminology.

Updated 3-3-2016 by Brendan Hesse: This article received a massive overhaul to provide clearer, more detailed information regarding torrent files, how to download them, and how the process works.

What is a Torrent?

• How to Download With uTorrent. This wikiHow teaches you how to download BitTorrent files with uTorrent, a free torrent program. You can access torrents through.

If you’ve dabbled at all in torrent downloading, you’ve almost certainly come across the terms “seed,” “peer,” and “leech.”

A seed (or seeder) is someone who is sharing the file; the more seeds, the more potential locations to download the file. Someone who is downloading the seeded file is a leech. The more leeches a file has versus seeds will make the file download slower, as there are more people accessing the file. Furthermore, if no one is seeding, then no one can download. The entire group of seeders and leeches are your peers — hence why BitTorrent is referred to as “peer-to-peer” file sharing. You collect a file directly through someone else, rather than downloading from a server. This cluster of peers is also referred to as a “swarm,” who are all uploading and downloading the same file.

Oct 17, 2017 - The app combines its torrent client with a download manager that lets you download music and videos directly from sites like youtube.

How exactly does this work? Essentially, the file is broken up into pieces, with each piece being downloaded and compiled by the download program. After you’ve downloaded enough data, you will begin to simultaneously upload the parts of the file you’ve downloaded, thereby increasing the download speed for your other peers in the swarm. Download clients give preferential treatment to those who allocate more bandwidth to uploading, and who are seeding files. Basically, the more you share, the more you receive.

Another term you may have come across is “tracker.” A tracker is a server that keeps track (go figure) of all peers in a swarm, but does not host any part of the file. Instead, a tracker acts as something of a traffic cop, directing peers to available file locations. Your download client will connect to this server as instructed in the .torrent file. There is such a thing as “trackerless” downloading, which we will cover more in a moment.

Installing a BitTorrent client and downloading files

How To Download Torrent Youtube

In order to open a .torrent file and begin downloading, you need a download client to handle the file. In the past, this guide has featured numerous torrent download clients, but the current best options are qBittorrent, Transmission, and Deluge.

These three programs have some minor differences, but they’re generally very similar. They’re all open source, and all three support various operating systems, including Windows, OSX, Freebsd, and various Linux Distros. Best of all, they are all devoid of annoying ads, useless “special offers,” or malicious bloatware.

Once you’ve settled on which torrent client you’ll be running, download and install it. An obvious step, yes, but having an installed torrent program is important because it enables you to download torrents via magnet links. You can always download .torrent files and open them with your downloader, but magnet links have been slowly overtaking .torrent files in terms of popularity and use.

Downloading a torrent

After installing a downloader client, such as qBittorrent, you’ll need files to download. There are many website you can use to download .torrent files or access magnet links, the most well-known being The Pirate Bay. Others, such as Kickass torrents, exist, but they usually lack the user base of The Pirate Bay. There are also private trackers, such as Demonoid, that require an account to access.

A quick search through these web will probably help you find what you’re looking for, but take care before downloading as some files can be fake. Check the comments on the file’s download page as users will report fake or broken files. When you open the .torrent, double check the file you’re downloading — if you’re expecting a .rar file, and see an .exe, it’s not the file you’re looking for and likely is a virus. Cancel and delete the download immediately. We will cover further safety tips in later sections.

If the torrent looks legitimate, the download page will likely list two methods for downloading: .torrent or a magnet link. Considering there are two download methods, you might be wondering what the difference is between the two.

.torrent files can essentially be described as treasure maps. These tiny files contain the locations for the various parts of files. Your download client will use the file to find the various parts of whatever it is your downloading, download the parts, the compile them into the file.

Magnet files work much the same way, but are a direct line connecting the downloader to each file, instead of needing to follow a “map” as provided by a .torrent file. There are further, more technical differences that have to do with tracker servers and DHT procedures, but we’ll leave those alone for now.

If your goal is simply to download a file with a BitTorrent client, both methods work great. Magnet links take a slight bit longer to begin due to establishing direct connections, but they also remove the step of downloading and opening a .torrent file. Regardless of the acquisition method, once a download begins, your speeds will be dependent on the swarms seed-to-leech ratio, and your bandwidth.

Utorrent

Once the download has completed, you will have access to the file, and you will begin to seed the file. While seeding does up your priority for downloads, it also increases your risk for being caught if you’re seeding copyrighted files. If you do not wish to seed you can either completely close your download program, or you can delete the .torrent, usually by right clicking the seeding file in your client and selecting “delete .torrent.” Be sure not to delete the data, however, or you’ll need to re-download the entire file.

Torrenting is usually associated with copyright infringement. Online pirates use torrents to illegally download movies, video games, music, software, and much more. Even before Netflix banned the use of VPNs to watch movies and TV shows, many resorted to torrents to pirate video. But as authorities crack down on torrent trackers and users, demand for free alternatives has risen.

The underlying BitTorrent technology is not illegal. In fact, many perfectly legal reasons to torrent exist, and the internet holds quite a few bastions for legal downloaders to find movies in the public domain, freeware, and indie video games, to name a few.

Dozens of websites are dedicated to legal torrent downloads. Some are limited in scope, while others have a bit of everything. We’ll start with some recommendations for the latter.

General Content Sites

Archive.org

The Internet Archive is a non-profit online library of books, movies, software, music, websites, and more. It contains millions of files, most of which can now be torrented. The content is either part of the public domain, user-generated by the community, or licensed under creative commons.

The books and audio sections really stand out here, as they include audiobooks. You can also find some cool oddball sections for things like old-time radio programs and microfilm.

Legit Torrents

Legit Torrents states, “Our goal is to be the biggest and best legal torrent tracker.” Users can search torrents and filter by category and status (i.e. if there are peers seeding the file on the network or not). The tracker aggregates everything, but it’s especially good for software.

If you know exactly what you’re looking for, Legit Torrents is a great option. The results return few duplicates, which makes finding files much less of a hassle. It lacks any sort of browsing or trending options, so go with keywords in hand.

TV and Movies

Public Domain Torrents

Fans of classic TV shows and movies will drool over Public Domain Torrents. The site focuses on films old enough to be in the public domain (usually 50+ years old) as well as B-movies. It currently boasts just under 1,000 films.

The site doesn’t look like much, but it’s fun to browse through the lists of films categorized by genre. The site unfortunately lacks a search function, but you can easily click the “SHOW ALL” link and find what you want by using Ctrl+F.

Vodo

Connoisseurs of independent films and TV series will find a lot to love in Vodo, a site that brings together creators from all over the world to distribute their content. Users can either download videos via torrent or stream them for free. A few books and games are also available, but the focus is really on video.

Vodo periodically releases special event bundles, which are time-limited, curated, and themed packs of content. To take full advantage of the site, registration is required.

Music

Panda.cd

Panda.cd is a torrent tracker featuring free music with a Creative Commons and/or artist permission. Registration is required.

Tracks are tagged by genre, and previews are available before downloading. Musicians are free to upload their own music to Panda.cd and distribute it through the site.

Etree

Etree primarily features live concert recordings of free trade musicians. It’s great if you want to hear what a local band sounds like in person before buying tickets to the show, especially if they aren’t big enough to be on Spotify or iTunes yet.

One nice touch is that you can choose to hide Grateful Dead and Phish recordings from search results, which there are a lot of. A lot.

Games

GameUpdates.org

GameUpdates aggregates patches, mods, and updates for thousands of video games. Whenever you purchase a game, you’re entitled to have the most updated version (DLCs notwithstanding). However, finding official patches can be a pain, especially for older games. Others have unofficial patches and mods to improve games that haven’t been sanctioned by the developer but are 100% legal.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any dedicated torrent sites for full games that are still being maintained. Let us know in the comments if you know of one!

Software

LinuxTracker

If you’re looking to download a free operating system, LinuxTracker is the place to do it. Operating systems, as you might have guessed, are made up of huge files. That makes them ideal to download via BitTorrent.

LinuxTracker lists almost every version of every Linux distro you want for both personal computers and servers.

OpenOffice

Want to be able to view and edit Microsoft Office files from programs like Word, Excel, and Powerpoint but don’t want to shell out the cash for an official license? OpenOffice allows you to do just that without uploading and converting files to Google Drive, and it’s absolutely free.

OpenOffice applications don’t have all the bells and whistles of MS Office, but they get the job done for the occasional user. The software can be downloaded via torrent straight from the official website.

Burnbit

Burnbit isn’t a website to search for torrents. Instead, it’s a site to create torrents from URLs. If you have a download link for something you would rather torrent than download in your browser, Burnbit allows you to do so. It locates all the “mirror” websites that host the desired file and turns them into “webseeds” while also finding any seeders on the BitTorrent network.

Burnbit is a handy tool for large file downloads like video games, software, and HD video. Unlike browser-based downloads, torrents don’t have to be restarted from scratch if your computer falls asleep or gets disconnected during a long download.

Precautions

Even if your torrenting activities are legal, they might not appear that way to your internet service provider. An ISP might just see peer-to-peer torrent traffic and simply assume you’re doing something illegal. Their reaction could be anything from an angry email to throttling your P2P network bandwidth.

The BitTorrent protocol also exposes your IP address to other users on the network, which can lead to privacy issues.

For these reasons, we still recommend legal torrenters use a VPN service. A VPN encrypts all of your internet traffic before it leaves the device, then routes it through a server in a location of your choosing. This effectively hides the content and destination of your network traffic, masks your IP, and should prevent an ISP from throttling traffic.

Make sure to choose a reputable VPN that allows P2P traffic.

Courtesy

Torrents, whether legal or illegal, are made possible by people who contribute some of their computer resources to seed files that others download. As a general rule, it’s common courtesy to seed as much as you leech. This is called the “1:1 rule”, and it helps keep the ecosystem of torrents going.

Seeding is especially important for legal torrents, which often don’t have as many seeders as popular copyrighted material. Please do your best to seed 1:1 and possibly more, if you can.
