What is the purpose of Bit Torrents?
362062
Bit torrents are a file sharing system. You download a file (.torrent) that is related to another file (the one you want to download) the .torrent tells your torrent program (bitlord, bittornado) to download that file from any other computer also downloading. This is a little more reliable than file sharing programs like KAZZA or limewire, and allows websites to save bandwidth by allowing torrents to be downloaded for super massive files they want to share. \nbe careful however it is a highly traceable system. do not torrent illegal pirated software.

A torrent file is actually a tiny file that allows you to download something else from the network. The file that you want to burn isn't a torrent file, but a video file of some sort. (avi, mpg, mov, etc.) As long as that video is less than 700 megabytes (the maximum capacity of a CDR) then you can burn it just like any other data file.

You cant since Bit Torrent doesnt download consecutive parts, it downloads parts it can find at the moment, and it only assembels parts after fully downloaded!

If you don't want torrents, you're pretty much out of luck...\n\nYou see, if you run a website, it's pretty easy to track down who's providing the service... and sue/arrest them.\n\nThat's why almost all copyright infringement has gone peer-to-peer.

possibly.. they may tend to use up your cpu once in awhile, evidently leading to crashes.. so far, i've got no problems with my torrent program but the thing that i often use to download files more quicker would be this p2p network, "limewire." it's really good.. you oughta try it for your self. i had the pro version. and dang does it work wonders not only in terms of fast searches but in superb sources...

A .torrent file is basically a small text file containing necessary information required to start your download/upload.  Such necessary information would include, file sizes, file names, tracker URLs, comments, hashes, etc\n\nBitComet is the program used to download torrent files. Set it up as the default program to open .torrent files. Go to a torrent site and start downloading stuff. Demonoid.com is a good site.

Let me explain the mechanics of the standard .torrent file.\n\nA torrent file is a file which has information on other files and stores the MD5Hash as well as the location the tracker for this file..  The locations it stores is known as the "Tracker".  A Tracker works by talking to the people who have the file who else has it and manages the traffic which takes place.\n\nBe warned the torrent file is not the real file you're downloading but merely a pointer telling the program you download with where the tracker is.\n\nTo download a torrent file you can use several programs to download torrents.  www.utorrent.com is a great and lightweight program for downloading torrents or you can search for azureus on www.google.com.  I suggest Azureus because even though its alot more resource heavy on your computer it is also stable and widely used by the community.\n\nRemember you download the torrent file but open it with your torrent download software such as Utorrent or Azureus.\n\nAs far as safety is concerned you have to watch what you're downloading.  If the torrent says "Full album" but it lists an exe within the file then you may be getting a sneaky form of adware, spyware, or trojans.\n\nAll sites that hosts torrents have the file list of what each torrent downloads.  Good sites to stick with should be www.torrentspy.com  www.mininova.org www.thepiratebay.org or www.boxtorrents.com.\n\nThe torrent system is the largest and most powerful file shareing software in the world now.  It is also the most efficient and well designed.\n\nHow it works:\nLet's say you download a torrent called Presidential Debate 2004.torrent.  You open the .torrent file within your torrent download software.  It then queries the Tracker, the tracker tells the software "There are 50 Seeders and 200 Downloaders" it then relays the location or IP of the torrent downloaders to you so the software knowns where to download it.  A Seeder is a person with a 100% working copy of that file you wish to download that has been nice enough to leave his/her connection open so you can download off them.  A downloader (also cruelly known as a leecher) is someone with a % of the file done but not all of it that is shareing and downloading the file.  It is good etiquette to keep your upload speed high because your connection is part of the files overall connection speed and other people want that file just as much as you do.\n\nA torrent file is just a bigggg text file, remember this.  So it's safe to use.  As far as anonymity you're right in the open and just as you can see everyone downloading the file, they can see you too.  It's best to use a blocker software that blocks watchdog agencies like Mediasentry.  You can do this by using Peerguardian2 http://phoenixlabs.org/.\n\nWell this concludes the answer, forgive me if i was a bit shotty in my explanation but I'm in a hurry.\n\nOh and it's best to use videolan classic player for videos you download because torrent sites love to have a multicultural style of encoders when it comes to videos and this thing plays it all.\nhttp://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Because the films you download using bittorents are HIGH-quality videos, usually DVD quality. The ones you get from p2p softwares, such as limewire are LOW quality videos.

whether you're uploading OR downloading copyrighted material you're breaking the law - the nature of bittorrent means you're both downloading AND uploading at the same time.\n\neven if you set your upload rate to 0k/s your ip address will still be listed as a peer for that torrent so it makes no difference whether you are or aren't uploading.\n\nbecause bittorrent is so popular and because everyone's ip address is on display all the time they're downloading/uploading it's a major target by the MPAA who log those addresses and (sometimes) take action against people violating their copyright.

Bitcomet is banned on most good torrent sites because it allows sharing of private torrents on public trackers. uTorrent is the best client right now.
