What are torrents

Torrents are P2P connections. if you are downloading, lets say a game (do not, if you get cought u might go to jail) there must be other people that have downloaded it to give it to you say if i downloaded it, the only way u will get it if i leave on my program on and let u downloaded it from me.
New A torrent is a small text file associated with specific content. When a torrent is opened in a bittorrent program it sets up communications so that transfer of the associated content begins. The transfer of the content is done using the bandwidth of the active users on the torrent.
