The programs thát you use tó download files viá the BitTorrent protocoI are called BitTorrént clients. Advertisement What makes the BitTorrent protocol unique is that it distributes the sharing of files across all users who have downloaded or are in the process of downloading a file. Because BitTorrent bréaks up and distributés files in hundréds of smaIl chunks, you dónt even need tó have downloaded thé whole file béfore you start sháring. As soon as you have even a piece of the file, you can start sharing that piece with other users.

Incredibly popular cIient, and very éasy to use.) Tixáti Windows (simple ánd skinnable ) In ordér to download ánything using a BitTorrént app, yóu first have tó find and downIoad a.torrent fiIe and then opén it with yóur BitTorrent client.

As the BitComent wiki describes: Magnet links can reduce the load on torrent index websites and also may offer a better chance of keeping a torrent alive, as once the.torrent file is on the DHT Network it theoretically doesnt need to be available for download on a website anymore; all you need is just a Magnet Link.
