3. Introduction
Torrent technology has revolutionised the way we
share and distribute files online. It’s a peer-to-peer
file transfer system that allows user to download and
upload files simultaneously, making it faster and
efficient than traditional methods.
Understanding torrent is important because it can help
you access a vast array of content that may or may not
be available through other means. However its also
crucial to use torrents responsibly and legally to avoid any legal
and security risks.
4. Torrent file :
A torrent file is a small file that contains information about a larger file. That larger file can be anything from movies to an
Application. The torrent file itself doesn’t contain actual contents but instead contains the locations of where the source is. It
acts as a guide for the torrent client and tells it from where in the swarm is a particular fragment of the file is to be fetched.
One distinction of torrent file from other file is that instead of getting downloaded from a single source like a traditional file, its
downloaded in fragments from multiple sources. This results in faster downloads and efficient use of bandwidth
6. How does a torrent work :
Torrents work by breaking larger files into smaller
fragments which are then shared among users in a decentralized network. When a user downloads a torrent file. They are
actually downloading a small metadata file that contains information about a larger file.
Their torrent client will use this information to connect other users who are also sharing the file, the client will download each
piece of the file from multiple sources simultaneously which speeds up the sharing process. Then after the data is installed the
user can keep hosting the file for others to keep downloading.

Peer to peer file sharing:
It’s a method for distributing large amounts of data
without relying on centralized server to host the file. Instead files are shared directly between users, with eac user contributing
a portion of file to others.
Its also used to distribute large files quickly and efficiently. So that all the user can download and beco sharing source for
other users to download from.
