Hi, I am what I'm sure most people on this forum, would describe as a "n00b". To be honest, I don't know anything about computers other than the stuff I need to know, e.g. internet, FM2008, Photoshop.
However, after hearing the capabilities of downloading using torrents from a friend at school, I would like to try them out for myself. However, being an arrogant computer nerd, when I asked him how he managed to use them he cockily replied: "skill". I am, in my opinion a fairly intelligent being, so I feel that the "skill" level required in order to download using them shouldn't be above me.
So I ask some of you computer virtuosos to explain to me, in simple terms how to download using torrents. Is there specific software needed to do this, if so, maybe a link or a name of software usable. Furthermore, what are the laws on torrents, e.g. what are the rules on downloading music, films etc.
On thin ice here matey regarding legality and what the mods might do for you even mentioning something such as this, find a less anti-pirate based forums on the interweb to get your answers.
You need to download bittorrent to your computer. Its a small download and there are many versions. To start with i would just use the one from the official site.
Once you have installed bittorrent its a simple case of clicking a torrent(Link for the download) and then it will download through bittorrent.
