How To Use Torrent Files Properly

  1. Download a BitTorrent Client.
    This program manages all of your downloads, keeps track of your uploading and downloading speeds, shows you how many peers and seeds there are, and makes the entire process painless. See our guide for selecting the bit torrent client that's right for you.

    You can use the client BitTorrent to download, or share with others, any type of file you would like -- .zip files, .exe, or anything else.

  2. Find a Torrent That You Want To Download
    .torrents are small files containing vital information – the file name, the tracker, and other information that you need to get the actual file.

    A tracker is a server that keeps track of who has what files, and who needs what files. Without this, you couldn't download any torrents.

    To find a torrent, you first have to go to our site - torrentreactor.net. Search for the file that you want – like if you're looking for a book named 'James Peterson's Iceland Hunt', type in something like James Peterson Iceland Hunt. Many torrent sites let the see the newest added torrents, too, and you can sort by name, by peer number, by seed number, or by file size.

  3. Download, Download, Download!
    Once you've chosen the torrent you want, simply click the Download Torrent button, open the torrent with the client, and you've got it! Once you connect to seeds, and peers, you're good to go!

  4. Seed, Seed, Seed, too!
    Once your download is complete, and you have the full file, don't exit your client! Let it run until the torrent has uploaded at least the same amount that you downloaded. Keep in mind that people like you are the only way that you got that file to begin with, so how can you not seed for them?
