.TORRENT

A .TORRENT file is an open source protocol used to facilitate peer to peer file sharing through the BitTorrent network. It was created by programmer Bram Cohen and provides users with a quick and efficient way to download and upload large files. The .TORRENT file contains metadata about the shared files; including the name, size, location, and a hash code that can be used to verify the integrity of the file after downloading. The files themselves are not included in the .TORRENT file and must be downloaded from other users on the network.

How to Use

In order to use a .TORRENT file, users need to acquire a BitTorrent client such as BiTorrent, uTorrent, or similar software. The bitTorrent client will use the data stored in the .TORRENT file as instructions on how to connect and interact with other users sharing the same files. This enables users to access patchy files and downloads various chunks from multiple users instead of using one central server which can easily become overburdened with too many connections.

Similar Extensions

Other popular file sharing extensions used on the BitTorrent network include: Magnet, .P2P, BitComet, eMule, and Azureus.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .TORRENT) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .TORRENT extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .TORRENT file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .TORRENT extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .TORRENT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TORRENT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TORRENT file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .TORRENT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TORRENT file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .TORRENT file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .TORRENT file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
