టోరెంట్ ఫైల్స్ - ఏమిటో తెలుసుకోవాలనుకుంటున్నారా?

We, most of us in India experience many problems in downloading large files through IE or some other download managers.

We have the problem of breaking the download due to failure of electricity at various levels of transmission, missing of packets, load per file on server etc., and the another thing is our dedicated bandwidth allotment.

For example we are mostly getting internet connection through cables recently. I am getting 128kbps speed connection. This does not mean that I can download files with 128kbps. I am getting download speed of 16kbps approximately. This is due to sharing of the bandwidth 128/8 = 16. So approximately on an average I can download 35-40MB per hour. More than 700MB (One CD) data can be downloaded per day. In India, within one hour there will be every chance of breaking download and what ever downloaded up to that level is gone forever.

Kindly bear with me for few minutes for going through the below.

BitTorrent: This is what I rely upon based on 5 years of internet expeience.

What is BitTorrent: It is one of the P2P (Peer to Peer) sharing system, basing on more you upload more the download.

How to get download of files:
1. You have to download BitTorrent Clients like "Azureus", "Bit Tornado", "utorrent" or latest FlashGet. Azureus is a Java Based client so you should install Java Runtime Environment also.
Google for BitTorrent Clients, there are many. I use Azureus and FlashGet. I satisfied with them. BitTornado also useful. But many techies suggest utorrent also.

2. Now go to the websites giving torrent links. You can find many torrent sites by googling. So many sites giving us links for torrent files whith their health status.

3. Download the torrent files and open them in any torrent client including FlashGet. Gradually the download speed increases to the maximum of your connection speed.

4. You can shutdown your computer and when you restart you can resume the download from where you stopped that one.

5. Assurance: I get much assurance with this type of download.

There are many techies who know more than me about BitTorrent are requested to add some more pros and cons of that way to this thread.
