In only a few short years, the peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing protocol BitTorrent is now one of the most popular methods of file sharing via the internet. With an ever growing amount of legal content available via "Torrents," Downloading BitTorrents has a really bright future.

What makes BitTorrent different than other P2P networks is its extremely efficient distribution method. Unlike other file sharing networks where downloads slow as increasingly more users download the files, downloads will get faster the more users that can be online, downloading and sharing the files. The BitTorrent protocol happens to be the among the fastest at moving very large files across the Internet.

In order to begin, the first thing you may need to track down is a piece of software to behave as the BitTorrent Client. Some users recommend uTorrent because of its small size and limited system resource usage. Others prefer the torrent clients, Azureus and BitComet. I recommend you download a couple of distinct clients and use the one you feel most at ease with. These clients are easy to install as some other software and really small. Once installed you are just about ready to start downloading. To search out files to download, goto any search engine and news search for "Torrent Tracker" or "BitTorrent Tracker."

As a way to download a file using BitTorrent, another user must be uploading (often known as "seeding" the file with their very own torrent client. Pick the file to download, click the link to the .torrent file on the tracker page. This is going to trigger your installed client to open begin downloading to your computer. The better seeders the file has the faster the download will go. There is a good chance that others downloading the torrent will be able to see your ip address so make sure you only use BitTorrent for its intended legal purpose.

Another unique aspect is the possibly for the seeder to force others to seed and share. As a way to keep them working properly everybody must share something. The protocol is dependent upon it. If you share with other users while downloading, your download speeds will increase when you are helping the other users to download.
