Prsist Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 When you're searching for torrents on the web you're able to download that tiny little torrent file which is an informational file or table of contents of sorts that contains the instructions for your torrent program to go find everybody else using that "tracker" as they are called and fetch the pieces you need to makeup the whole thing you're trying to download. So the client finds whatever torrent are relevant, gathers, and puts it all together for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Baron Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 So the client finds whatever torrent are relevant, gathers, and puts it all together for me? Sort of - you go search the web for the torrent, you get the torrent (its like a 2kb file) from whatever website you're searching on, there are tons of them. Having the torrent file, you open it in your torrent program - that program then uses the information from the torrent file to automatically pull in all the pieces of whatever you are downloading until you have a complete thing of whatever it is you wanted to download, in this case, episode(s) of Top Gear BBC/UK (for the love of God don't download any American ones..haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like tanner faust, he does battle of the supercars here in the states which is petty good. I have been meaning to try torrents for music but i have grow comfy with podcasts. If I could get movies in DVD quality and stream them to my plasma I might try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
