What is a torrent

.torrent is simply a file extension used by a BitTorrent client or other peer-to-peer programs that use the BitTorrent protocol.
To download torrent files (.torrent) from any website you first need a program that will let you download those files in that format. A very reliable torrent downloading software is Utorrent, which can be downloaded for free from:

www.utorrent.com/download.php

After downloading and installing Utorrent, you can simply go to any of the torrent websites I've listed below and search for torrent files. Remember that when you download the torrents, it will ask you whether to open or save the file. Select the 'Open with' option, and make sure the listed program to open with is 'Utorrent'.

Here are some of the most popular torrent listing websites:

- www.piratebay.org
- www.demonoid.com
- www.isohunt.com (best layout and forums)
