Adding torrents

If you're at home it's easy to add a .torrent to your queue.
But what if you're at work or somewhere else and you found a .torrent how can you remotely add it?
You can do it with a WebUI in utorrent or Azureus.

Seeders and leechers

What does it mean?

A Seeder is someone who has the complete file sharing on it's client.
A Leecher is someone who is still downloading a file.

So if you're looking for a torrent, it's best to take the one with the highest amount of seeds or leechers. Although most sites update the number only once a day, it does give a good indication of wich one to download.

So how do I download Torrents?

You need a BitTorrent client first.



A recommended client is μTorrent from here.


If you don't like μTorrent, maybe you should try Azureus from here, it does need Java though.


Now when you installed either clients, you can open .torrent files with it. After opening the .torrent, the client will search the torrent networks' tracker for any torrent client that contains the file you're downloading.

Digging for torrents

When I dig for torrents, where do I start?

After I have installed the right search plugins, I search IsoHunt, in my browser.



After that, I might do a search on Mininova after selecting the right plugin.


After that I'd maybe try BT-Chat or SeedPeer

By now I should've found what I'm looking for, if not, well bad luck I guess.
