Setting a torrent client

If there are no other complications, usually the only thing you need to set is your upload speed (your internet connection speed in the direction out from you). If you don't know it, you can easily find it out on speedtest.net (remember, 8kbps equals 1 KBps, so if you need your speed in kilobytes, divide the kbps by 8).

What is a Torrent?

Torrent is a small file (around few kilobytes) with the suffix .torrent, which contains all the information needed to download a file the torrent was made for. That means it contains file names, their sizes, where to download from and so on. You can get torrents for almost anything on lots of web sites and torrent search engines.
Torrent is the most popular way of downloading large files, including movies and games.
Downloading with a torrent is advantageous especially when downloading files, which are momentarily very popular and whitch lots of people are downloading. Because the more people download the file, the higher speed for everyone.
