How To Use BitTorrent

Summarized Step-By-Step

PART A: Download and Install a BitTorrent Client

* Download BitComet. You can do so by right-clicking here and choosing “Save Target As” (Internet Explorer) or “Save Link As” (Firefox).

* Click on “Save File”. Save it somewhere on your computer (like your desktop, your C drive, My Documents).

* When the download is finished, use your windows to navigate your way until you can see the “BitComet_0.94_setup” file’s icon. Double-click on it.

* Click “Run”, “Ok”, “Next”, “I Agree”, “I Agree”, “Next”, and “Install”. The program will install. Click “Finish”. The program will start up.

PART B: Find and Download a File

* Go to a BitTorrent search engine… Say, ISOhunt.com

OR btjunkie.org, thepiratebay.org etc.

* Click on the text field near the top left of the page, and type in your desired movie/album. Say, An Inconvenient Truth. Click “Search”.

* You will be taken to a search-results page. Click on “S”, on the top of the second rightmost column of the table of search results.

* You will probably see a page like this, with a mix of files that are around 700 megs (Divx/Xvid movies that fit on one CD) and files that are around 4 Gigs (files to be burned on DVDs).

* Click on the name (widest column) of a torrent that sounds good. That row will expand to display some ads, a “Download .torrent” link, and information about the files that the torrent links to. Click on the “Download .torrent” link.

* If you have never downloaded a torrent before, a window will pop up, asking what you want to do with this file. Choose “Open with BitComet”, check “Do this automatically for files like this from now on” or “Always use this program to open similar files”. If you have done this in the past, then… (see the next Step).

* BitComet should open automatically and ask you if you want to download this file. Click OK.

* Wait patiently for the file to download. When it’s done, the file will be in the C:\Downloads folder.

* If the file is a .AVi, .MP4, etc, then it is a movie file you can watch on your computer or transfer to a DVD, iPod, PSP, etc. If the file ends with .RAR, then it’s basically a kind of ZIP file, and you need to decompress it using WinRAR. If the file ends with VOB, ISO, CUE/BIN, or if it’s a VIDEO_TS folder, then it can be burned onto a DVD for viewing on a DVD player. A few quick Google searches should deliver useful tutorials about working with those files. In my opinion, .ISO files are easiest to deal with (just burn them onto a DVD and they work).
