How to Download a File with Bittorrent

Bittorrent is a file sharing protocol that looks complicated but, in truth, is very easy to use. I will post links to .torrent files on this website from time to time. To download the files I recommend using Vuze (one of many fine bittorrent programs). Simply visit their website (www.vuze.com) and click the link to download Vuze. It is FREE and EASY.

Once your download is complete, install Vuze. This will take a minute or two depending on how fast your computer is.

Finally, you can download the .torrent file and open it with Vuze. Vuze will search the internet for people who are sharing that specific file (when my computer is on I am usually on, hopefully others will be also as this speeds up the download time). When you are connected, your download will begin and once completed you now have the file!

Lets recap:

  • Step 1: Download Vuze
  • Step 2: Install Vuze
  • Step 3: Open .torrent file with Vuze
  • Step 4: Wait for download to finish, then open files!
