How to update torrent?

Since time, when the speed of the Internet has ceased to be calculated in kilobits, torrent trackers have become popular. Many computer users use torrents to exchange information, but very few people understand the operating principle of this system. First of all, this is the program through which you download and upload files from your computer. But first things first.

Torrent is a peer-to-peer network, a special protocol that was developed by Bram Cohen. Originally it was designed to quickly transfer large files between two computers. The word "peering" refers to the fact that no server is required to transfer files. It is required to install a special client on the computer, which periodically needs to be updated and that's it! You can now distribute or receive files.

But not all so quickly. Exchange occurs through special trackers - sites on which so-called distributions are conducted. By going to one of these sites, you can select the file you need. And download it at the highest possible speed. Clicking on the tracker on the "Download" button, you will get to the computer a small file that needs to be opened through a special program. But before that it is recommended to update the torrent.

Going into the distribution, you first need to make sure that it supports a sufficient number of siders. Siders are people who have a full copy of this file and are ready to give you it to download. It is on this that the possibility of transferring and exchanging files via the torrent is built. One distributes, the other pumps. And on the distribution can be a lot of siders, so that the speed of your download will be limited to only the Internet channel. The role of the torrent tracker is to distribute the siders and peers so that the file exchange goes efficiently and quickly. But for a more efficient download via torrent connection, you will need broadband internet. If there are any problems with downloading, you can try to update the torrent.

How does all this look in practice? Let's say you want to download new movies from the torrent, you go to the tracker, find the name of the hands in the search, download the torrent file and everything. But before that, a special program must be installed through which this file can be opened.

It happens that on the trackers are laid out distributions, in which the files are periodically supplemented, for example, this is the case with serials, where new series are added. To download missing files, you just need to update the torrent.

As you can see, torrent trackers allow you to share large files in two mouse clicks. All the necessary music albums, you can already download at high speed. All movies and games are also available. But do not forget about copyright. Torrent trackers actively violate it, the state tries to prevent it, but at the moment all attempts are futile. It is not known how things will be with this case in the future, but closing torrent trackers will entail serious limitations in access to content.

By the way, torrent trackers pushed back to the background various file sharing. In addition, having unique content, you can create distributions on your own, it's enough to update the torrent. Due to high speed, it became possible to download movies from the torrent in high resolution.
