Please log in for more thread options 0) Find an appropriate place to ask this question instead of a computer hardware forum. 1) Google it. http://www.google.com/search?q=Using+bittorrent 2) Find a torrent that has what you want. 3) Install a bittorrent client. Don't have one? See #1. 4) Open a hole in your firewall/router if necessary, the port corresponding to what your client is set to use. 5) Download the torrent file, at which point it's either associated with the client, will open the client automatically, or you would manually open the client and through it, open that torrent file as if you were opening any document in another application. 6) Sit back and watch it download. End the session when you have uploaded at least as much as you've downloaded. Note that if in #2 through 6 above, what you want is copyrighted by certain groups, you may eventually get a letter in the mail from the RIAA's agent(s) demanding money or your appearance in court, since they've been tracking MP3 torrents for a few years now and will sue indiscriminately - grandmothers, little girls, homeless people and the dead, to them you are just a (IP) number. | ||||||||||||||||

Here, briefly, is the most common procedure: Download and install a "client" such as uTorrent. Go to mininova.org, isohunt.com, or other such site that provides "torrent" files. A torrent file provides the information required to download a file. Find and download a torrent file for the .mp3 you want. Double-click the torrent file. The client will ask if you really intended to add the torrent. Say yes the client will begin downloading. Files are downloaded piecewise with many computers providing pieces. Some gotchas: Documentation isn't great. Look for files that have many "seeds," computers that can upload the file you want. (You will be a "leecher," a downloader). Ensure that all parts of the file are available. Once you have a part of the file you will become a seed. As a courtesy continue to seed after you have completed the download. Gary | ||||||||||||||||

> Need to know the steps. > Thank you. Why downloading MP3 using Torrent when there are tons of MP3 newsgroups which you can download much faster? Usenet - just use any good reader with yEnc supported, or better yet Binary Downloader is a better way to download binary from Usenet. BitTorrent - you can either use BitTorrent client *or* Opera (Web browser) which supports BitTorrent. | ||||||||||||||||
