Once the initial check is complete though, pause the download and click the Files tab in the Detailed Info pane. Here you can see a complete list of files included in the torrent file. This wikiHow teaches you how to find, download, and open torrent files on your computer. A torrent is a simple file that contains information needed to access and download larger, more complex files such as videos or programs.
Once you have a torrent file downloaded, you can use a torrent client such as qBitTorrent to open the torrent, which will prompt the torrent's linked files to begin downloading onto your computer.
In the list of search results, click a link that looks like your desired file name. Also, check any comment or review sections to see if the file is malicious or broken.

Article Summary. Part 1. Understand how a torrent client works. A torrent client is a program, such as qBitTorrent or uTorrent, that can read your downloaded torrent, gather the torrent's files, and begin downloading the files onto your computer.
For the purposes of this article, you'll use qBitTorrent to open your torrent files. This is because qBitTorrent isn't ad-supported and thus will not spam you while you download your torrent's files. Open the qBitTorrent website. Select a download link.
Depending on your operating system, click one of the following options: Windows — Click bit installer to the right of the "Mirror link" heading in the Windows section. If your computer uses a bit operating system, click the bit installer link there instead. You can check your computer's bit number if you're unclear on the correct option here. Wait for the setup file to download. You'll have to wait five seconds after the download page finishes loading before the setup file will download.
Depending on your browser's settings, you may have to click Save File or select a save location before the file will download. A leech, in turn, only has a fraction of the file and needs the seeds in order to gather the full version. The more seeds there are in the swarm, the faster the leeches can download.
Other factors also influence the speed of a torrent file. The user's own download speed as determined by his or her internet provider has the biggest effect. ISO files are disc images, and either need to be burned or mounted in a virtual drive in order to run them.
Beware of viruses. Because torrents often exist in a legal gray area, there is no oversight as to the kinds of files that are made available. This means that hackers will embed viruses in torrents that they hope to spread to other users. These are often included in popular searches in order to get the most victims possible. Scan every file that you download for viruses. Try to download files that have been released by trusted sources in the community. Always check comments and ratings to see if anyone else experienced virus attacks with the torrent.
Part 2. The BitTorrent protocol lets you exchange or distribute data over the Internet. There's no central server involved; data is downloaded from other users seeders. You need a client application that will connect to the host and manage the download.
There are multiple clients available for free online. The torrent file that you download from the tracker site is very small, usually only a few KB in size. This file does not contain the content that you are downloading.
The file acts as a guide for downloading pieces of the file from other clients. Use the BitTorrent client you installed in the previous step to open the file. Your torrent client should be configured to automatically open torrent files. If yours is not, you can drag the torrent file into the client window to add it to the download queue.
Depending on how your torrent client is configured, you may be asked where you want to download the content to when you open the torrent file. Select a location that you can remember. You can check the progress of your download in the torrent client.
Most clients will allow you to see how many seeders you are connected to as well. Torrent clients will automatically try to download at the fastest speed allowed by your connection. Downloading multiple files at once will slow the overall speed of each file. From here you can limit the download speed and upload speed.
This is useful if you want to stream a movie while the file is downloading. Add more trackers to the torrent. If you are having difficulty connecting to enough seeders to download the file, you can try adding more trackers to the torrent. Do not attempt this if you are using a private tracker, as you may get banned. Find a list of active trackers online.
There are several websites that list active trackers. Copy the list of trackers to your clipboard. Right-click on the torrent in the client.
Select Properties from the menu. Select the General tab. You should see a list of trackers in a box there may be just one. Paste the list that you copied into the box. You need a blank line in between each tracker that you enter. Press OK and the torrent will automatically try connecting to the new trackers. Access your downloaded content.
