How do torrents work?
Answer:
Torrents are a P2P (Peer-to-peer) file-sharing protocol. A .torrent file contains the information regarding the torrent’s contents and the location of the tracker that will connect the users. To use the .torrent file you must have a torrent client such as BitComet, uTorrent, etc. When the client opens the file, it connects to the tracker and locates the people sharing the file. The client will then begin downloading the file from the connected users, as well as uploading the portions that you have already recieved. This is basically how P2P file sharing works.
