How do torrents work?

Question

I'm downloading sheet music from online, but they are all in torrents... so i was just wondering how do you get torrents to work and look like something?

Answer 1

It downloads different bits of the file data from different computers across the internet that are connected. A seed is someone with the full file. A leecher is someone who doesn't have the full file. People still upload bits of files if they are a leecher.

Answer 2

i thought you meant the pontiac torrent =/

Answer 3

you have to have a torrent application

go to azuerus.com and dl the program. after you install it, you can download the sheet music just fine.

it works kind of like a zip file, how sometimes you need to have winrar to run it/ open it

Answer 4

udk i wouldnt suggest using them they suck and they take a long time to download use limewire or frostwire

Answer 5

you need to get a bittorrent client to open the torrent file.  There is a good discussion of clients here (they are free)
