They are files that you can download but to warn you they are illegal but the hell with it, everyone is downloading illegal stuff these days...

Torrents contains all kinds of stuff such as music, videos, games and other bunch of stuff... First you have to download a program called bittorrent... I used that one...

I have used torrents to download files less than 1 megabyte in size.  Not very big.

I download plenty of legal files through torrents.  Many freeware and open-source programs are available through torrents.  As for clients, I prefer uTorrent over all others.

A torrent (.torrent) is a file that when used with a torrent client is able to download certain files or folders that are hosted by other users.
