Welcome to About Torrents. This website serves as a resource regarding both the technical and practical aspects of bit torrent files (sometimes written as bittorrent).

Basic Bit Torrent / BittorrentOverview

Bit Torrent is a free, open source file sharing technology. Bit Torrent is particularly effective when it comes to large software / media applications such as movies, music, etc. To begin using bit torrent you will want some sort of bit torrent client. A number of these are reviewed and compared in the bit torrent clients section.

Once you have downloaded and installed a torrent client, you will need to download .torrent files. These are very small files that contain the necessary information to begin a fullscale download. .Torrent files can be found in a number of places; be sure to check our bit torrent sites listing to find some good resources.

Once you have downloaded the necessary .torrent file for whatever movie, music file, or software application you are trying to obtain, you simply open this file using your bit torrent client. You may be prompted regarding certain preferences, but your download should start as soon as you respond.

Bittorrent files are taking the net by storm. Why? Because bittorrent files allow for the rapid sharing of various file types. Compared to other technologies, bittorrent transfers seem to be relatively anonymous. And the technology has an inherent speed advantage. With bittorrent file sharing, the users both upload and download simultaneously. Insodoing they are able to rapidly spread files that would otherwise be much more time consuming.

Bittorrent files have been especially useful in the sharing of research materials among scientists and students. Large files that would typically have been difficult to download can now be shared by creating a simple .torrent file. This technological evolution is an excellent contribution to the world wide web as a whole.

All users have to do is download a bittorrent client and some torrent files and they can get started right away. It's as simple as opening the file using the client and then downloading. As mentioned previously bittorrent files can allow the sharing of movies, research work, music, software applications, and virtually any other media imaginable. If you are looking to download copyrighted material, I strongly recommend the Netflicks program that I recently joined myself. It's not too expensive and it is really well designed.

Needless to say, the bittorrent technology has been an invaluable contribution to the internet community. We'd also like to put in a good word for the Cheap Car Insurance website--often times quotes here are substantially lower than Geiko Insurance rates.That actually surprised me, because I'm a Gieco customer myself.

Most common misspelling leading to our site: bit torent, bittorent.
