1) Download a BT (BitTorrent) Client
The first thing you will need is a BT Client. This is a program that will manage all of your downloading and uploading using torrents. There are many clients out there, each offering different pros and cons.
My personal Favorite torrent download is Bitcomet
2) Find a torrent to download
TorrentSpy is a search engine for torrents. Torrents are small files containing information about the file(s) you wish to download such as the file names, the tracker(s) you may use, and other information.
A Tracker is a server which directs uploading and downloading of packets of data on torrents. It contains the information of who is currently downloading and seeding the torrent. See our guide What do all these words mean?
To find a torrent to download, use http://www.TorrentSpy.com or any other relevant torrent search engine and type in the name of what you want to download and click the Search button. You will be given a list of torrents that can be ranked in order of how well seeded they are - i.e. how easy/fast it is for you to download them. Seeds/seeders are people that currently have a full copy of the file(s) you want. If there are no seeders, you are very unlikely to ever complete your download.
3) Download the torrent!
Once you have selected the torrent you want to download, just click the “Download Torrent” button, open the torrent with your BT Client, and save the file to your hard disk. Once you have connected to seeds/peers, you’re downloading!
