Bittorrent is a popular P2P protocol that lets users share their files such as movies,music,softwares and etc. directly from their computers without the need to upload them on an external server.
Follow these simple steps and begin to download your favorite movies and music for free:
Step 1: Download a bittorrent client
In order to download files with bittorent you need to download and install a torrent client or software on your system.Choosing a proper bittorent client mainly depends on the operating system you use. I recommend these Clients:
-
µTorrent (Windows)
-
Transmission (MAC)
-
Azureus (Linux)

Step 2 : Search for torrent files and download them
There are many exclusive sites for bittorent files search.I recommend ThePirateBay and Mininova .When you search for a movie or music album in these sites ( for example a search for Knocked Up movie) you come into many search results and may be rather confused which one to use for download.Select the one with more seeders and less leechers.The less the leechers/seeders ratio the faster download you may have.(for exact terminology of seeders and leechers check this wikipedia page.
The comments made by users for each torrent file may be useful to find whether the movie has good quality,the file is real or fake and etc.Once you find the proper torrent click on the download link and open it with the client you have already installed on your system.This file does not contain the whole movie or music file,but it gives the necessary information to the torrent client.The size of these files are usually small and about 50 kilobyte.After downloading the torrent file your client begin to download the main file you have been looking for automatically.You can do whatever you want while the download completes!
Step 3 : Use a proper video player to watch downloaded videos
You need to have proper codecs to watch most of the videos you download on your system.There are many free video players out there you can choose from.I recommend VLC Player.Fore more details check this page.
You are all done! Just download whatever you want and enjoy it.
