[Guide] How To Use Torrents

RevenG · 05-14-2007, 01:53 PM

First, download a Torrent client, such as uTorrent, Azureus, bittorent, BitLord, BitComet. Personally I use uTorrent because its small and light-weight.

Secondly, download a .torrent file. These can be found on sites such as :
DeltaAnime Torrents DownloadAnime.org - Anime Bittorrent, FTP, Images, and Manga
Baka-Updates
TorrentBox.com - Anime Torrents
AnimeYume - Anime for Yu and Me ( BitTorrent / ED2K community )
BitTorrent @ AnimeSuki.com
BoxTorrents

After you have downloaded a .torrent file, double click it and it should automatically load your bittorent client. Save the file where you want and it should start automatically. It might start slow, but it should speed up.

Remember to be nice and seed torrents!

never forget that you should allow others to download for you, means that you don´t reduce your upload rate to less than 10 kb/s. first, it´s not nice, second, this affects your download rate, which will also be reduced then.
also make sure that the the ports used by your torrent program aren´t blocked by your firewall, or else it will never connect to the trackers.

(and utorrent is the best, i absolutely agree ;) )

if you're using a router, then remember to forward your port(s). If you can't seem to connect to many people, then enable DMZ to your IP too

rep points to you (: lol

also always look for healthy torrents preferably more seeders than leechers and yeah please seed after you finish downloaing at least a day just to be nice :D

nit3mar3 · 05-14-2007, 10:19 PM

(never found a torrent with more seeders than leechers...i´d like to see that...)

monz · 05-14-2007, 10:31 PM

not really big series but some of the smaller series like darker than black since it is being subbed by five different fansubbers some have like 20 seeds and only 2 leechers im not saying that you will have more seeds than leechers on naruto or bleach lol

mlavx · 05-15-2007, 10:45 AM

but leechers will become seeders eventually, and a lot of leechers tend to give a high speed in the start, so I don't really mind that much

Why don't we move this to the guide-section btw?
