Skillful netizens consider it convenient and habitual to download music, movies, books, useful software, games, etc. from Internet resources. However, there are situations when the required file cannot be found on sites. In such cases, you can use the "Torrent" service.
What is "Torrent"
The "Torrent" service is a file storage intended for the exchange of data between Internet users. After all, it may well be that the resource you need is stored on the computer of another user, and you have information that someone else really needs. Thus, "Torrent" is a complex system, when all users simultaneously download and distribute to those who wish the necessary and existing files. This happens automatically if the "Torrent Service" program is installed on the computer and the computer has access to the Internet.
The Torrent service is intended for the exchange of files between Internet users.
There are special servers called "Trackers", they store information about which IP-address on the network has the desired file, its brief description, as well as download statistics, a list of new arrivals, etc.
How to use the "Torrent" service
Download a program for downloading files on one of these services. To do this, you need to log in or register on the site. Install it on your computer.
If you want to share your personal resource, first you need to create a torrent file in a special program. To do this, the program needs to specify the path to it, and it itself converts it to the appropriate format. This is a kind of explorer, pointing in "Torrent" the path to the source file stored on your computer.
Then you need to log into the server site under your name, select the appropriate category for this file, give it a short description and size for those users who want to download it, and upload the data following the site prompts.
If you need to download music or a movie, this also requires registering on the site and installing a torrent service program. Find the file you want and download it to your computer. Then launch this explorer and wait for the download to finish. At the same time, everyone can also download through your computer.
On "Torrent" there are requirements according to which all participants must mutually exchange files with each other.
There is a rule on Torrent that everyone should share with each other. If you don't want to share your files with anyone, then you won't be able to download anything either, only beginners are given a free download limit of 500 MB. Although there are sites where registration is not required and there are no such strict restrictions.
It is the distributions that allow you to get the files you need. There are cases that they are closed at the request of copyright holders, because actions for free data transfer may violate copyright. Indeed, the authors lose a significant part of their income due to the existence of such resources, but formally no one can prohibit this, because the law has not actually been violated.
It is on this contradiction that the "Torrent - sites" system is based.
