download utorrent software

You use special Torrent search engines to find .torrent text files around the Net. A .torrent text file functions as a special pointer to locate a specific file and the swarm of people currently sharing that file.

# These .torrent files vary from 15kb to 150kb file size, and are published by serious Torrent sharers around the world.
# You download the desired .torrent file to your drive (this takes about 5 seconds per .torrent file at cable modem speeds).
# You open the .torrent file into your Torrent software. Usually, this is as simple as a a double-click on the .torrent file icon, and the client software auto-launches. In other cases, this software will even open the Torrent file for you.
# The Torrent client software will now talk to a tracker server for 2 to 10 minutes, while it scours the Internet for people to swarm with. Specifically, the client and tracker server will search for other users who have the same exact .torrent file as you.
# As the tracker locates Torrent users to swarm with, each user will be automatically labeled as either a “leech/peer” or as a “seed” (users who have only part of the target file, versus users who have the complete target file). As you might guess, the more seeds you connect to, the faster your download will be. Commonly, 10 peers/leeches and 3 seeders is a good swarm for downloading a single song/movie.
# The client software then begins the transfer. As the name “sharing” implies, every transfer will happen in both directions, “down” and “up” (leech and share).
*SPEED EXPECTATION: Cable and DSL modem users can expect an average of 25 megabytes per hour, sometimes slower if the swarm is small with less than 2 seeders. On a good day with a big swarm, however, you can download a 5MB song within 3 minutes, and a 900MB movie within 60 minutes.
# Once the transfer is complete, leave your Torrent client software running for at least two hours. This is called "seeding" or "good karma", where you share your complete files to other users.
Suggestion: do your downloads just before you go to sleep at night. This way, you will seed your complete files, you will increase your upload/download ratio, and you will have complete downloaded files by the time you wake up!
# Movie and music plug-ins: you will likely need to install media players and updated codec converters to play your downloads:

* e.g Windows Media Player, DivX, RealAudio, Daemon Tools Virtual CD/DVD. Click here for details on getting these plug-in players.
* e.g. XP Codec Pack and other coder-decoder converters. Download the best codec packs here

# Enjoy your movies and songs!
# Fair warning: you will want a second hard drive once you start serious Torrent downloading. Songs and movies require large disk space, and an average P2P user commonly has 20 to 40 GB of media files at any one time. A second 250GB hard drive is common for serious P2P users, and the recent low prices on hard drives make it a good investment.

well, Copyright warning. Unless you live in Canada, you must understand that copyright laws are commonly violated by P2P sharing. If you download a song, movie, or TV show, you do risk a civil lawsuit. Canadians are somewhat protected from these lawsuits because of a Canadian federal court ruling, but not residents of the USA or most parts of Europe and Asia. This lawsuit risk is a reality, and you must accept this risk if you choose to download P2P files

Configuring uTorrent
1. Run the program. Ignore the security warning (Click Run).

2. It will give the following dialog.

You want the program to be easily accessible, don't you? Click Yes and the shortcut will be created in your desktop and start menu.

3. Next you will be given another dialog

Click Yes, so the next time you download on a FunFile torrent, uTorrent will automatically start up to handle the downloading job.

4. And the next dialog box is the most important step

Now the value that we are interested in right now is the Upload Limit in kB/s (aka KBps). If you have trouble understanding your speed, consider this: Internet Explorer shows download speed as KBps when you download a file.

There is a big difference between 5Kbps and 5KBps. make sure you got the right values in KBps (not Kbps). Use Google Calculator if you need help with convertions.

5. Click Current Settings

The authors of uTorrent have been very helpful in providing a list of predefined values. Your connection should be near to one of the above categories. "xx/384k" means that your download is unlimited and your upload is limited to 384kbps (which is 48KBps).

With your results of the speed test you did above, select the closest upload speed from the list. uTorrent immediately adjusts the "Affected Settings" area with recommended values for your upload speed.

Note: The default download speed in utorrent is Unlimited

TIP: uTorrent randomly generates a port number in Current Port. This tutorial assumes the port number to be 55641 - but you can substitute it with the number uTorrent shows.

6. Port forwarding is also important. Click on "Test if port is forwarded properly" to run the test. If you have trouble running the test, it could be due to one or more of the following reasons:

a. Home Router - If you are running a router (sometimes called wireless access point) at home, you will have to configure it to direct all TCP/UDP bittorrent traffic to port 55641 to be routed to your computer. If so, click this

Well,

To download from "Torrent" follow the given process :-

Well, Seshu,

i am currently downloading Day of Dead with almost 51000 seeders and i got this link from btjunkie.org.

you say you have downloaded mininova toolbar that is not a usable at all.

i tell you what to do.

first search for or go to your desired movie/game/software link.

suppose you want to download Day of Dead the movie.
search or browse for the movie and you will find with a lot of seeders with this. i searched for Day of Dead and found this link with most seeders go to this link:
http://www.mininova.org/sear ch/Day+of+Dead/seeds

you see a list of torrents for Day of Dead.

click on the second one cos it has 170seeds and its a Rip Movie too,
seeders or seeds are those people who have completed downloading the movie.
leechers are those who are and will be downloading with you.

you will come to this page.

simply right click or single click on link that says DOWNLOAD THIS TORRENT to save the torrent file on to you disk.

now all you have to do is to download a torrent client like utorrent or bittorrent or azureus.
sites are
www.utorrent.com
www.bittorrent. com
www.azureus.com

utorrent and bittorrent are light while azureus is more than 8mb

after you get the software you will have to configure it as per your needs. then click on + sign of the program and add the torrent file that you had downloaded.

in a few seconds you'll be connected to seeds and your download will be started. the more seedes you see more fast your download will be. also it depends upon on your connection speed, too.
