I decided to write this guide to show you how to use torrent (File Sharing) and get started so i assume you don’t know anything about torrent and file sharing

What is torrent? and how to use it to download any file you want? simply BitTorrent is file sharing protocol that allow you download any files you want (movies, music, games, etc…) , to know more about BitTorrent and how does it work please read wikipedia article on BitTorrent protocol.

Now you should have fairly good background on how BitTorren work, to get started you will need BitTorrent Client , Basically its program that allow you to download and manage your downloaded files.

As you may noticed there are many BitTorrent clients, but the most popular two client are uTorrent, and azureus , these two clients are the most popular these days and i highly recommend you to use uTorrent why? for two reasons

  • Very light and fast program
    Probably that is why its so popular uTorrent is very fast and light on your computer and it does not require too much CPU and Ram Power, and that is good especially if you have old computer, and because the natural of the torrent you probably going to leave it working all the time and you definally don’t want something to increase your system resource usage.
