This post will tell you how to download a torrent file, run it on the software, check if it's not a dead torrent and finish the installation. But before that, its important to know what torrent actually is. Torrent is a P2P (peer to peer) service in which there are more options to download a file than regular download services. That is, a file is available to download on more sources in torrent than in regular sources. Wonder what P2P is? Full form: peer to peer. There is no central server in P2P and each computer acts as a client as well as a server. In torrent, a person downloads and uploads both. What he uploads is then downloaded by another person. If only one person is downloading from a torrent, then it is not possible to download because he is not receiving any upload. The person who is downloading and uploading is called peer. One person download what another uploads, and another downloads what the first one uploads. Some people may only upload (seeders).

- Where to download a file
For downloading a file, first you must go to a torrent website. Most of the websites are linked with a search engine called Torrentz. But there are other options too. Like ISOhunt, Pirate Bay and Torrentz.cd, which are also leading search engines. I recommend going to each one of them and searching to get the best results.
2. How to download a file
After going to a website, go to the search box provided and enter your search. After searching and pressing enter, click on one of the results. To identify a good torrent, we need to see the number of seeds and trackers in each torrent. In Torrentz, based on the responses there are even indicators present in form of ticks. The more the green ticks, the more people have verified it as good. And we also have to see the comments in a torrent to determine it.

From here the method of downloading changes for the three search engines above.
- Torrentz
- After clicking on a torrent name, a number of options will appear. Click on one of them.

2. Here, in the information area, you will have to check whether the seeders in the torrent are same or not. Some seeds more or less do not count, but if the number is very low, try another link. On every link you will see 'Download Torrent" button. Click on it to download the torrent file.

| Torrent is same, but the seeds and leechers are different. If the number is too low, then the torrent will not catch speed. |
- Pirate Bay

The same steps can be used for Bittorrent.
After loading, a dialogue box will appear asking where the files will be saved and which files to download. Select the destination folder (1), uncheck the unrequired files (2) and Click ok (3).
Now the download will start. We have to keep an eye on two things - the Health of a torrent (Those green bars which appear after file size) and download speed. As the download starts, both of them start increasing. But there are even torrents where because of less seeders, the health and download speed are very low. This is where BtReannouncer, Trackers and Download accelerators come in handy (You can find description of all these in the blog itself).
