To download the file, user opens the torrent file with their
BitTorrent client, which then connects to the tracker and other peers sharing
the same file. The client begins downloading the pieces of the file from
different peers and simultaneously uploads the pieces it already has to other
peers. This peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing model makes BitTorrent an efficient and
scalable method for distributing files over the internet.
Torrent files are widely used for distributing large files, such as
software distributions, movies, music albums, and other media. They offer a
decentralized and resilient approach to file sharing, as files can be
downloaded from multiple sources, increasing download speeds and reducing the
load on individual servers. However, it is essential to respect copyright laws
and only share or download content for which one has the necessary permissions
or rights.
