Some are more reliable than others.
There are two main types of torrent trackers: public trackers and private trackers. Public trackers are available to anyone. These are the sites you will find when doing a web search for torrent trackers. Because of their public nature, many torrents are tracked by copyright holders, and downloading them can result in action from your internet service provider. Private trackers require invites. These sites are not accessible until you have been invited by another member.
They often have requirements, such as sharing an equal amount of what you download. Private trackers are much less likely to result in cease and desist letters from copyright holders. Most public trackers have every new show, movie, album, and game available, as well as popular old files. Use popular shorthand for finding the file you want. Download a well-populated torrent. The speed at which you can download a torrent file is determined by the number of seeders available.
A seeder is a torrent user that has the entire file available for downloading. Most torrent sites allow you to sort search results by the number of seeders. Look for files with a large number of seeders. Not only will you download it faster, but it is less likely that the file is fake or infected with a virus. The number of leechers will affect your download speed as well.
A leecher is a user that is downloading, but is not currently seeding. A leecher becomes a seeder when the full file has been downloaded. If there are significantly more leechers than seeders, the amount of bandwidth you receive will be lower, resulting in slower downloads.
Choose a torrent with a good size versus quality. This is especially important for video files. Because compression can affect quality, smaller files will often look and sound significantly poorer than the same video with a larger size. On the flipside, downloading a larger file can take significantly longer depending on your connection. Read as many comments as possible to determine if other users feel that the quality of the file is good and worth your time.
Some trackers have a rating system which allows users to vote on if the file is good or not. Download a magnet link if available. These files are slightly different than a standard torrent file. It has all the features I need, supports all versions of Windows, and best of all: it's completely free!

Torrent sites are routinely monitored by all of the big studios in order to obtain the IP addresses of those downloading their works illegally. They next contact the connected internet service providers ISPs and ask them to track down your IP address. ISPs are required by law in several countries to disclose your identity to studios. Step 3 : Now that the files have been moved, you need to start up the download again.
Simply right-click on the torrent again and choose Start. The download will continue from whatever percentage it had already completed and download the rest. This can save a significant amount of bandwidth compared to starting over again, especially for very large torrents. That said, say no to piracy. If you use uTorrent to download torrents though, you can selectively pick out which file it is you want to download from a large torrent file.
This will enable a pane to appear at the bottom of the list of active, queued, or seeding torrents.
