Torrents :
Torrent is a small file (around few kilobytes) with the suffix .torrent, which contains all the information needed to download a file the torrent was made for. That means it contains file names, their sizes, where to download from and so on. You can get torrents for almost anything on lots of web sites and torrent search engines(For Eg: torrentz.com).Torrent is the most popular way of downloading large files, including movies and games (remember legality of downloading). Anyway, to download anything through a torrent you need a torrent client, which is a small software that you need to install on your computer(Eg: BitTorrent). The original BitTorrent client was written in Python and it has been made open-source. Thanks to that, we have a large variety of torrent clients today. Just choose which one you like.
Downloading with a torrent is advantageous especially when downloading files which are momentarily very popular and which lots of people are downloading.Because the torrent is different from the typical method of downloading files from a centralized computer(called server) to our computer(called client). Instead, torrent downloads proceeds using different computers(called peers) on the Internet which holds different pieces of the original file. Servers called trackers will connect our computer to these peers and start downloading pieces of the original file from the peers simultaneously(if possible). This will increase the downloading speed rather than downloading from a single server. Also remember that after we download some part of the file we too is a peer and start sharing our part to others.That is when more people download the file, the higher speed for everyone.
