When it comes to downloading files online, there's a variety of ways to go about it. One of the more controversial methods, due to the potential for copyright infringement, is using BitTorrent files, also commonly referred to as torrents. When you download a torrent file using a client such as BitComet, uploading plays just as much of a role as downloading content.
Torrents
Torrents, sometimes called BitTorrent files, are files online that use multiple users to achieve higher download speeds. Typically, to download a file you would click on the link to the file and download it from a single source all at once. With torrent files, you click on a tracking link that finds other computers that are hosting the entire file. Your computer's torrent client then begins to download pieces of the file from many different sources at the same time, multiplying download speeds by many times.
BitComet
BitComet is a specific program that allows you to download torrent files. It's classified as a torrent client. Once BitComet is downloaded, you can navigate to a site that hosts torrent tracking files, click on one and download the file associated with it using BitComet. Like most torrent clients, BitComet tracks the file name, download speed and your computer's upload speed.
Uploading and BitComet
When people talk about torrents, they typically discuss the high download speeds associated with the file type. But uploading also plays a large part in how torrents function. When you download a torrent file, BitComet and other torrent clients simultaneously upload pieces of the file to other users. Even after the entire file is downloaded, you client will continue to upload the file to others until you remove it from your torrent client. The more people uploading pieces of the file, the more options downloaders have and the higher speeds torrent clients can achieve.
Cautionary Tips
While torrent files themselves aren't illegal, much of the content that torrent tracking files exist for is protected by copyright. Torrent websites can connect to computers hosting movies, music and software programs that are copyrighted and being given away for free. This is illegal. Never download for free a torrent file for something that's sold in a store. However, torrents are perfectly legal for files and media that are made for free distribution, as well as public domain media.
