To download torrented files, you need a specialized program called a “torrent client” and a .torrent file or “magnet link”. The client connects you to other users (peers) who are sharing the file.
- Get a torrent client: Download and install a safe, trusted torrent client like µTorrent or qBittorrent or Transmission.
- Find a torrent: Go to a verified torrent link and click the “magnet link” (a link icon) or download the
.torrent file to your device.
- Open the file: Click the magnet link or drag-and-drop the
.torrent file into your open client. OR you can copy and paste it.
- Start downloading: Choose a destination folder on your device, select the specific files you want to keep, and click “OK” or “Download”.
