Torrents- ((Mallik, ths is for u,,))

Last day, Radhmallik asked me how do i download this much from torrent sites. So i thought i will post something that will tell what a torrent is and how do you download files in torrent. The actual reason is i was looking for a topic to post something. =)

So. Torrent. Torrent is an easy and faster way to download files,movies,softwares. Torrent is a small file which has information regarding where the exact location of the file is. The torrent works like this. When you download using a torrent, the file that you download will be a shared file some other persons computer somewhere in the world. These  computer users are called seeds. So when we download, smaller fragments of the file are taken from these seeds simultaneously thereby reducing the time required for the download. Instead of taking a file from a person, we take each paper from different persons simultaneously. Simple thought. Torrent is the  the best way where you can get pirated softwares ,films, e-books. Thats what i am interested in. So how do u download?

You need:
                 -A torrent software eg. Limewire, utorrent,
                             These are tiny softwares which can manage your downloads, and store the torrents when the download is being done. These extract file fragments from the sources a arrange the jigsaw perfectly.

                 -Internet connection( preferebly a unlimted usage broadband)
                            Obviously. The torrent software has scheduler facility wherein you can set the time when the download should happen. If your free usage time is in the night, keep your system on and switch on the scheduler, and go sleep. This is what i usually do.

                -Enough memory storage space 
                            
                -Anti-virus or Internet Secuirity Software
                             Most of the Torrent sites come with "explicit contents", guhaha....  Don't try it if u don't have an active anti-virus. You have better sites for that. Even if u have an anti-virus, it wont let you access these links. Not because anti-virus is acting decent, its because most of these links have virus, malware, spyware, bacteria, and what not. Cracks and keygen are actually viruses that have been tamed for specific purposes. So don't let your anti-virus do automatic actions. Put it in "Ask me before taking any action" mode.
                So keep your Windows Firewall and Anti-virus active when you browse these sites and download torrents.
