What is bwtorrent? why torrents are used?

Question

I don't know what are torrents and what is bwtorrent please answer my question.

Answer 1

It's a P2P downloading program. The difference with direct downloading is that instead of the site hosting the file (which uses a lot of bandwidth that accounts for the money donations some sites ask for), while you download the file, you upload it at the same time. Download speeds with torrenting are usually quicker than direct downloads if there is a good ratio of seeders (people who are already done downloading) and leechers (people who are downloading). If you want to use torrents, I suggest you use this one:

http://www.utorrent.com/

i don't know if torrents are safe. You can get viruses or spywares on using it

Answer 3

bwtorrent is a private torrent site, meaning that you have to be a member to get their torrents.

Torrents are small files that are opened with a bittorrent program to start the download of content (movies, music, games, software etc).
