Wednesday, January 28th, 2009If u have got a broadband, and if not only broadband but also unlimited usage or download then the best way of downloading anything like music, movies, games, wallpapers, softwares and TV shows etc.. are that by using torrent clients.
What are Torrents
Torrents are file types with extention/suffix .torrent which contains all the information needed to download a file the torrent was made for. It contains file names, their sizes, where to download from and so on. You can get torrents for almost anything on lots of web sites and torrent search engines. Torrent is the most popular way of downloading large files, including movies and games.
Downloading with a torrent is advantageous especially when downloading files, which are momentarily very popular and whitch lots of people are downloading. Because the more people download the file, the higher speed for everyone. Every file (or set of files) need to have an unique torrent file to download it, to download anything through a torrent you need a torrent client too.
You probably already tried another ways of p2p sharing - torrent is just another method. The original BitTorrent client was written in Python and it has been made open-source. Thanks to that, we have a large variety of torrent clients today.

Torrent principle
The BitTorrent protocol was made mainly for temporarily very popular files - for example when a new movie or music album comes up. The download speed increases proportionately to the number of users downloading the same file and that is the biggest advantage of torrents.
When you are downloading something through torrent, you share your already downloaded part at the same time (for this reason you break the law in most countries when you are downloading illegal data). When you start downloading, your application contacts a "tracker" server, which co-ordinates all clients (other users' applications). From the tracker the application finds out where to download from, which parts have the other users already downloaded and so on. Also your application informs the tracker about what part you were able to download until now - and by that it gives it at other users' disposal.
problems:
A situation, when the tracker server is not functional may turn up. In this case you can't begin downloading, but if you already are downloading, it doesn't have to be necessarily a problem to finish the download (your client already knows where to download from).
Then there may be no one downloading or sharing but you. Therefore you have nowhere to download from. This happens with old and unpopular torrents.
Theoretically a situation when there is nobody that has the file complete may come up (such user is called "seed" or "seeder") and you simply can't get the whole file together from the parts other users have.
note: please seed files for a while too , after the downloads.
: you can also adjust upload and download speeds by right click- bandwidth allocation (set Bandwidth allocation to high)
: right click and select force start for faster downloads

It’s a pity that some torrent search sites hide their collection of files from search engines bots as it’s the most convenient way to find them.
