  • In a lame man words, bit-torrent works like this; file is shared and partitioned into a smaller file or bit. The user having 'full-length' or completed file shared the file via torrent server, is called as seeder. While the others, whose on completing the file, or in progress of downloading; will also shared downloaded file to others, is called leecher. in such way, you obtained faster download speed as more seeder and leecher shared the file. More seeder is preferable. So it's highly recommended; as finished downloading, to open our torrent file as long as possible as you be seeder to that particular file.

  • Bittorrent works by breaking down files into many pieces, most commonly 128 or 256. Then users who also have identical parts will upload the parts of the files that you need. Bittorrent reduces stress of a download server and distributes it among clients or peers/seeds (as BT calls it) to be the download server.

  • I believe BitTorrents act like a sort of link to a file that you are trying to download. You download a torrent and thenuse it to connect to a server/user to download a file. But, you might want to try a few FAQs because although I've used Shareaze a lot, I never actually used a Torrent. Try the site I've linked below to see if it can help you.

  • BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used for distributing large amounts of data over the Internet. BitTorrent is one of the most common protocols for transferring large files, and it has been estimated that it accounted for roughly 43% to 70% of all Internet traffic (depending on geographical location) as of February 2009.

  • you mean how to use uTorrent or what's bit torrent?

    It is rather easy to create a new torrent. To do that select Create New Torrent issue in the File menu. Then a window will appear on the screen offering you to select the file source you will be sharing later. You can choose a single file or a group of files excluding some of them from sharing.

    also, you can add a torrent to the list either from your computer or from the network. If you have a file you want to share with other users you can add it in the following way:
    а) select Add Torrent issue in the File menu
    b) select Add Torrent issue in the Torrents menu by right clicking on it
