What is Torrent?

[StanAE86]

I was reading about how someone was looking for Chappelle Show clips in the requests section and someone suggested Supernova.org, so I looked too. It's a "Torrent" page...and I was wondering how it works and what is it? When I clicked on TV Shows and Chappelle Show, nothing happened. I assume I'm missing software or something?

Thanks in advance...

You have to download a program ex. BitTorrent at http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html...
Then just open the file with a *.torrent extension or click the link one more time, and the download should start

So, this is a special downloading program? Do I need a special player to play it, once it's Dloaded?

Thanks for the help.

basically a torrent is a way to download something that sucks balls speed wise most of the time

torrents mostly suck on adsl, with a cable connection you get rather high speeds, +250k is not an exception here

How do you get such high speeds with torrent... do you have to open some ports :?:

Please could you post a reply so that my torrents go faster than 10kbps :D

this is my concept of torrent....it is basically a peer - to - peer internet downloading.......same like kazaa or any other P2P file sharing programs......it maybe slower than direct download but it worth the wait...
