Beginners Guide To Torrent Downloading

Alot of people are unsure of the way torrent downloading works so today ive decided to make a guide. Lets start from the begging, first ask your self what kind of internet connection you currently have. (ex DSL, Cable , T1) If you have dial up you are going to be waiting for about a year for 1 download to finish so I dont recommened joining the torrent world until you have a cable or higher connection.

Now we need to get or new lightweight Utorrent which is much like bitTorrent but a lighter and more powerful version. This program is what we will be using to download or upload our torrents.
Step1. Download Utorrent Here http://utorrent.com/

Step2. Install Utorrent (If You Need Help Installing Search Google)

Step3. Find a torrent. Today we are going to get our torrent from thepiratebay.org which is a torrent tracker.

The tracker computer does two things. It keeps a record of who has got the full copy of the file you are requesting and who is also requesting that file at the time. The people are referred to as “Seeders”, who have already downloaded 100% of the file and “leechers” who are in the middle of downloading the file. The tracker transfers your computer the information to connect to the seeders and leechers to download the file from them - to your computer. Obviously if there are no Seeders and leechers then you will not get the file. If you see a torrent file you want and there are no seeders, avoid it.





As you can see above this is thepiratebay.org homepage where you search for your torrent. Notic above I have entered in what I was searching for and have checked the right category which in this case is "Audio". Now search by pressing "Pirate Search".

Now you should have something that looks like the below image. As you can see the first thing you want to do after your search has completed in click the "SE" button which is circled in red below. What this will do is sort all the torrents results you got by most seeders. Meaning the highest seeded torrent you will see first. High seeded torrents is faster download speeds so you always want the high seeded torrents.
Now click on the torrent you wish to download ill be downloading the torrent with the red arrow next to it. After you click the torrent it will take you to the page where you download the torrent.
To download the torrent simply click the red circled link below.

Then something that looks like the below image will pop up. Make sure you choose open with uTorrent. Then click OK.

Now it should look something like the below image. The only thing you should do here is click OK.

After that it will automatically start downloading. Once its complete right click and click Open Containing Folder to find your downloaded items. I hope you enjoyed my guide.
