What is a torrent file? Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, I often hear about torrent files but I don't actually know what they are and what their particularities are. If you could enlighten me, I would be pleased.

In short, to download via torrent, you need a software that manages torrents, like utorrent or bittorrent (personally, I use both). Then, you go to a torrent tracker (torrent site). For that, I don't know, you type any movie into your search bar (Google's your friend) and then add "torrent" at the end. You press enter, then you choose a torrent site that offers the torrent you're looking for. You download your torrent (if all goes well, your file is in ".torrent", that's normal). Then once your file is downloaded, you find it, and you open it with the torrent software you have (I repeat, utorrent or bittorrent, and there are plenty of others), so you open your .torrent file with one of these programs, and then the software will open, with a loading bar (that's your complete file being downloaded). Depending on the number of seeders (people sharing the file), your download will be faster or slower. Once your download is complete, don't delete your file, even if it's at 100%. This will allow others who want to download the same file to go a little faster. Essentially, you're sharing. It will also be beneficial for you since you gain a ratio, something you absolutely need to keep downloading torrent files. The ratio ensures that people are sharing, and that the torrent system works well. Since torrenting is essentially about sharing =D. (However, there are always some jerks who cheat. If everyone acted like them, nothing would work, since they don't share --')
I hope I answered your questions, because it's long and complicated to understand, but once understood, it's pretty simple!

Quelle différence y a-t-il entre le téléchargement simple et le torrent ?

halo-roro · Answer

In torrenting, it's peer-to-peer. This means that you are not downloading from a server, but from a computer, and at the same time, the files you are downloading are shared with other people who are downloading them.

Partager signifie qu'ils peuvent aussi accéder à mes téléchargements sans avoir à les télécharger eux-mêmes.

halo-roro · Answer

I didn't understand the meaning of your question, otherwise I'll explain

when you download a torrent file, you download the .torrent file, you already have a small part of the file you want, and for the rest, you take 1 file from one person, another from another person ......
and it's the same for everyone, that's why it's faster, did you understand?

best regards,

Alors supposons maintenant que je veuille faire un téléchargement torrent, comment je fais ? Et comment reconnaît-on un fichier torrent d'un fichier simple ?

halo-roro · Answer

Pour télécharger des fichiers torrent, télécharge un client (BitTorrent, BitLord, etc.). Plein de programmes existent pour reconnaître un fichier torrent ? Simple, le fichier se termine par .torrent. Pour trouver un fichier que vous voulez ? Simple, Google (par exemple, jeux "Daemon Tool", je mets "Daemon Tool torrent") et je trouve à coup sûr.

Thank you very much, I tried, I downloaded torrents but it refuses to play, what should I do?

halo-roro · Answer

He refuses to read them? Your torrent client? Normally, you download your torrent file, then add it to your torrent client (I recommend BitTorrent). Then the file will download, and once it's finished, your file works, it's in "My Documents / Downloads".

Well, what are SEED and Peer next to that?

halo-roro · Answer

So, SEED refers to the people who have already downloaded the file but are now "sharing" that file. If there are no seeds, the download will not take place. In conclusion, the more seeders there are, the faster the download will be.

Peers are the people who are downloading just like you. If there are 30 seeds for 100 peers, you will take a while before you can have the complete file. But above all, the torrent system is based on sharing. After you finish downloading a file, leave BitTorrent or your torrent client running to seed, which means sharing for others. We are all glad to download thanks to others, so we need to help because most of the time, once the download is finished, people delete the file from the Downloads folder, so they do not seed, which completely penalizes others.

Any other questions?

And what about the Ratio? Do we automatically earn Ratio? And is it tracked by Utorrent (for example) or by the site where you download?

Oxley · Answer

For the ratio:It is the difference between the amount of files shared and received. For example, if you download a file of 10KB and you share it at 50KB, you will have a ratio of 5. You have sent back 5 times the data received. Conversely, if you keep the file to yourself without sharing it, you will have a ratio of 0.Most torrent clients (BitTorrent, uTorrent, etc.) track this ratio and display it to you, but it's just simple information; it will have no effect on their functions. On the other hand, some tracker sites use this ratio to manage your downloads. You will easily recognize a tracker site that uses this system because you will be asked to register, create an account, etc.For example, if you register on TorrentExplication.com (this site does not exist) and you are asked to maintain a ratio of 1.0, you will need to share at least as much as you download. So, the 10KB file must be shared at 10KB. Below this rate, it is possible that TorrentExplication.com will prevent you from downloading the files you found there until you have shared enough.Rest assured, it cannot block files that did not originate from there.A little tip, if you ever register on one of these sites (which are generally more efficient than public trackers) and you want to boost your ratio, the best approach is to download recent torrents that have few sources (1 to 3-5 seeds) and are in high demand (15 to 9999 peers).Most often, pornographic films meet this description, as well as TV series recorded on the same day, newly released music albums, etc.Good luck to you!
