1) Download a BitTorrent Client

The first thing you will need is a BitTorrent Client. This is a program that will manage all of your downloading and uploading you do using torrents.
There are many clients out there, each offering different pros and cons. Only use one client at a time, as using more than one wont make your speeds better or anything.

Here is a list of clients we here on the forums recommend that you use:

• Azureus - more complex, but lots of excellent help available for n00bs
• uTorrent (aka µTorrent)

For a large list with comparisons of features between clients, click here.


2) Find a torrent to download

Useekfile is a mesage board for torrents. Torrents are small files containing information about the file(s) you wish to download such as the file names, the tracker you will use, and other information.

A Tracker is a server which directs uploading and downloading of packets of data on BitTorrent. It contains the information of who is currently downloading and seeding the torrent.

To find a torrent to download, use this message board's search function and type in the name of what you want to download and click the Search button. Also you can click on the navbar button "Torrents" You will be given a list of torrents that are ranked in order of how well seeded they are - i.e. how easy/fast it is for you to download them. Another way is to click on the attached file at the end mesages in the Torrent section.

Seeds/seeders are people that currently have a full copy of the file(s) you want. If there are no seeders, you are very unlikely to ever complete your download.


3) Download the torrent!

Once you have selected the torrent you want to download, just click the "Download Torrent" button, open the torrent with your BitTorrent Client, and save the file to your hard disk. Once you have connected to seeds/peers, you're downloading!

4) SEED the torrent!

Once your download is complete, DO NOT exit your BitTorrent Client. Leave it running until the torrent has uploaded (at least) the same amount as you downloaded. That would give you a share ratio >= 1.0, meaning you're sharing! Remember, BitTorrent works by people like you sharing files, so by giving as much as you take, you will be benefiting and expanding the community!

the worst thing is to have a newbie create a torrent, then never seed it.

death to all seedless newbies!

I agree!! Pests...

I think that a 1.0 ratio is not enough. The ideal to me is 2.0 or above. Because at 1.0 you only replace another seeder as you leave the swarn (the network). At 2.0 you garantee that you replaced your seed and added another seed to the swarn. This allows the torrent seeds to increase well.

And we always have to compensate for the newbies that leave before seeding.
