Introduction
You may have heard or seen many people using or talking about torrents and how they are illegal and such. This is not true, but in some cases it may be just because of the things that you can be downloading that are contained inside of the torrent that you are downloading. I'm here to keep you away from downloading the dangerous things and help you have an easy time while learning.
Step 1a. Finding a Client.
- What a client does is pretty basic.. It is what you use to seed/leech the torrent so others can download while you upload while you download while they upload. Confusing sounding, I know, but it will all come clear soon when I explain how this works later on.
- Download this for now while I explain how seeding/leeching works.

Step 1b. Seeding/Leeching.
- Seeding means that after the torrent is done downloading you keep it there for others to download at a faster or more stable rate. Leeching means that you are one of those who are download whatever file you are downloading. These Seed/Leeching stats are usually on whatever site you download your torrents from so it's easier for you to decide what torrent is best for you.
Step 2a. Downloading the right torrent.
- Now that you have all of the necessary tools for the job of downloading your torrent. Here we go.
- thepiratebay.org
- When looking for what you want, type in normal terms that you think would bring up the best results in terms of what you want. If you want the latest music and movies, search NoFs. This will be a practice torrent that contains some music, but it's small so it shouldn't take long.

- Not the greatest song I know but just run it on utorrent but either dragging it to the client while it's open or click the actual torrent file to run it on utorrent. It should show how many leechers/seeders are connected to the torrent, just go to preferences and edit the settings that you think would result in a faster download.
Step 3. Extracting the Torrent when done.
- When the torrent is 100%, highlight it by clicking it then hit the giant red stop sign button. This will stop it from seeding so you don't get a cease and desist letter from you ISP (the worst that can happen). Right click it and click "Open folder containing" or something similar to that. It should open the folder containing the files that were inside of the torrent. The song!
