Introduction.Hi this is wulfspade1's second guide, which will tell you "How to use torrents.
What are torrents.
Torrents are smaller files that tell you computer where to download larger files. Torrents are similar to p2p (peer to peer) software, except for the flaws (p2p software causes bandwidth clogging).
How to download Torrents.To download torrents you need a torrent client, which I posted the popular ones below.
Code:http://www.bittorrent.com/ http://www.utorrent.com/
After you have downloaded the client, you are ready to download the torrent itself.
There are MANY sites to download torrents, but I recommend "the pirate bay."
After that, search what you want in the box, Note: don't search long names like this "Justin Bieber's song lyrics to baby" SIKE, Just search keywords "Justin Bieber baby" DON'T SEARCH THE EXAMPLE LOL. The "im feeling lucky" button just takes you to the first result in the search.
After you searched, a list will come up, click on one result, and you will come up to the page
Check the seeders, leechers, and comments, in-case this torrent contains a virus or is not working. This will help keep wasted time and bandwidth.
click download torrent then save it on your desktop.
Then when you click the torrent, a box will come up showing you the contents off the torrent.
After that, the client will come up with the downloading process, and other things.

Word Definitions
Peer
- A peer is someone downloading the torrent like you, not completely finished, just have some parts done.
Seed
A seed is a peer that has a Finished torrent and still offers it for upload. The more seeds there are, the better the chances are for completion of the file.
Leech
A leech is usually a peer who has a negative effect on the swarm by having a very poor share ratio - in other words, downloading much more than they upload.
