Tips

  • Seeders (Seeds): Seeders are people who have a complete copy of the torrent's files and are uploading (sending) data to the people who are downloading (receiving).
  • Leechers (Peers) : Leechers are people who are currently downloading a file. Leechers can become seeders after downloading the full file.
  • A practical tip is to stick with downloading torrents that have a large user base. This means download only those torrents that many people have downloaded and uploaded, or that have been active for a long time. The logic here is that nobody will seed a torrent that has a virus in it and therefore the torrent won't be very popular and won't be seeded. Be wary of the week old torrent with one or two people seeding it.
  • There are other torrent clients (programs) that can be used so do your research on these also. The most popular torrent programs are uTorrent, Azureus and BitTorrent. use uTorrent because they port forward for you now, useful if you have a home network.
  • There are Torrent search engines that search the popular torrent clients (programs). This saves you time by not having to search each individual torrent client site.
  • When looking for torrent files, look for those with plenty of seeders so that the file downloads quickly. When searching for torrents, you can often sort the results by seeds, simply by clicking on the seeds column header.
  • You can set the options in your web browser to download to a specific folder and then, using the options in your torrent client, enable torrents to be automatically loaded from that same folder you have chosen. This way, the torrents will automatically load for you with minimal effort.
  • You can leave the torrent program running overnight to download while you're away from the computer, or close it and turn off the computer to save power. Most torrent programs will have an option in Preferences to start up with your computer and this option can be enabled or disabled by opening "Run..." from the Start Menu and typing in msconfig.
  • Most torrent programs will resume the download process automatically when you start them back up. If the download doesn't resume automatically, there should be an option to start downloading by either right clicking on the file and choosing Start, or a button somewhere in the program.

Warnings

  • In many countries, using torrents to download copyrighted material is against the law.
  • In certain jurisdictions it is illegal to download content through peer to peer networks such as bittorrent.
  • Downloading torrents can slow your computer down. Recommended specs for each client vary, but on average you should have at least 512 MB of RAM and a 1 GHz CPU. You will also need space for the files you want to save.
  • Make sure you check the comment section before downloading, if there is one, to see if the torrent is real or not.
  • Keep your virus protection program up to date. Software downloaded from unknown sources on the Internet can be home to some pretty nasty viruses. There are free anti-virus applications, as well as top-of-the-line apps such as Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, and Avast. If you do happen to get a virus, remove it.
  • Downloading torrents can slow your overall internet connection down if you don't properly tweak your upload rate. DSL and Cable modems have problems downloading if you're uploading at your maximum rate. Set your clients maximum rate to 80% of your maximum upload rate if you can adjust it. If you set your upload rate too low, your downloads will slow to a crawl.
  • Torrenting is a bandwidth intensive act which is frowned upon by some ISPs, leading them to throttle any torrent traffic, slowing down your downloads or even stopping them altogether. Traffic encryption can solve this, but it may or may not work in your specific circumstances.
  • As with any bandwidth intensive application, make sure you know how much data you've transferred if your ISP implements a quota system (90 GB/mth). Remember that finished torrents are seeded (uploaded to others) when the torrent job is running and you might exceed your ISP quota unintentionally.
