All you need to know about torrents

First of all Lets know what is TORRENT ?


Literally, A strong wind that brings together everything they come across.
Now truly, Torrents in computer terminology is also of a same form. 


Some Basic Definitions(little technical!!!):


Torrent:  A set of files obtainable through a peer-to-peer network.


Seed: A seed is a client on the BIT TORRENT network that has a complete copy of a particular archive. For any archive to work, there must be at least one seed to download from originally. Sometimes under certain circumstances, there may be no one seeder but enough people with all the parts to make up the whole archive, this is called a distributed copy. It is HIGHLY recommended that once you have gotten an archive you leave the BIT TORRENT client running for at least the amount of time that it took you to download the archive to help ensure that others will also be able to get it.


Leech: A leech is a client on the BIT Torrent network that does not have a complete copy of a particular archive yet. When any new client begins downloading an archive, they are a leecher until they have finished downloading the entire archive and then become a seeder. The name 'leecher' here is an unfortunate use that has become too commonly used even though it is really not applicable to what the meaning is. A leecher normally means someone who downloads without uploading (takes but does not give.) But here, a leecher is part of the network and is uploading as well, many times more KB than they download.


Now What is a TORRENT File ?
          To download something with Bit Torrent, you must have a .torrent file. This file contains in it a location that tells the Bit Torrent client where to go to find the tracker that manages the uploading and downloading of the archive. An archive is a complete set for downloading which may include one file or many files. The one .torrent file contains the archive information also. To download on this network it is simply a matter of clicking on the .torrent file in your web browser, then the Bit Torrent client kicks in and asks where you'd like to save the archive. That's it, from there you just sit back and watch the client work it's magic.


Here is a Straight leap to get started:(for those who hate reading!!!)


1. Open your Browser (say G chrome!)
