5 Steps tutorial on torrenting

If you are using a computer, first get a good torrent client. You should consider uTorrent and BitTorrent. After installation, it's time to hunt for the torrent files.

There are some good alternatives sites:

  • publicdomaintorrents.info
  • kickass.so
  • oldpiratebay.org (resurrected by isoHUNT)
  • isohunt.to
1. To demonstrate how downloads work, I will download Gimp (open-source software) from kickass.so.

2. To avoid ending-up with painfully slow or fake torrents, check for the number of seeds and peers. In this case, more the merrier. Also, check the comments and ratings, if any.

3. Since torrent websites are often overloaded with ads, you have to carefully find the 'real' download button.

4. Once the torrent file has been downloaded, it will open automatically in uTorrent. The torrent client will ask for your permission to add a new torrent. Simply click on OK, and the download process will initiate.


5. You can check the download progress and speeds in uTorrent. Don't worry if your download interrupts due to some problem such as power-cut. uTorrent will resume the download process rather than doing it all over again.
