A torrent is a file-sharing method that allows users to download and upload files over the internet using a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. Instead of downloading a file from a single server, torrents break the file into smaller pieces, which can be downloaded from multiple sources simultaneously. This makes the process faster and more efficient. To use a torrent, you need a special program called a torrent client. This software connects to other users who have the same file, allowing you to share and receive pieces of the file. Popular torrent clients include uTorrent and BitTorrent.
