Everything You Need To Know About Torrent Files

Nowadays films,full softwares,and TV series are downloaded using torrents.You may be also using torrents for your downloads.But do you know what exactly is a torrent?.Lets talk about it.
With a very slow computer and a very slow internet connection you can download fast using torrents.Torrent files have the extension .torrent.  
                  How can we download big files using a slow connection fast?? You should understand the traditional download method for that.In the normal (traditional) downloads you just click the link to download.Your browser request it from the server and server starts sending you the data.This is done by a protocol.Its either FTP (File transfer protocol) or HTTP (Hyper text transfer protocol).When we download a file using traditional methods , there are some conditions effect the speed of the download.The first one is server load.The server gets busy when more people request files from it.It reduces the download speed.The next reason is the popularity of the file.If the requested file is more popular the download gets slow,because the server has to send the same file to many computers at once.
        The peer-to-peer downloading method came in this condition.It brought solutions for the traditional downloading method.You have to join a file sharing network and install a special software given by the site.You can still see these in some websites.They install a software to download the file.You have to request the file through this software.Then the file is requested from the computers which have the file already and connected to the internet using the relevant software.Then the file is downloaded from these computers to the requested computer.After downloading this file as long as we connected to the internet and the software is running,the file is uploaded to other computers from our computer.The users must repay as they have already downloaded it from another one's computer.It is our duty to let other people to download from our computer.It is easy as long as you think like this.But there are some people that stop the software as soon as they have completed their download.That's called 'leeching'.Like a leech sucking blood from others.The peer-to-peer method corrupted because of the leeching.
                                                       There was a great program designer trying to stop leeching.
Finally he was successful.On 2nd July 2001 he released a new File sharing protocol,it was also a peer-to-peer protocol.It is the "bit Torrent". Although it is a peer-to-peer protocol the users won't try to leech.Because if you do not exit from the bitTorrent software even after you download the next download will be more faster.

                                               To use the bitTorrent you have to install a special software.Its called torrent client software.There are many torrent clients now uTorrent,bitTorrent etc..The most popular torrent client is bitTorrent. After you find a torrent file through internet it can be opened by the torrent client software.It searches details about it.By connecting to the server which control this torrent file.Its called 'tracker'.You can see it in uTorrent and bitTorrent. In here the tracker searches for computers which have installed the torrent client and finished the download.There must be at least one.Unless the download fail or won't stop.That's why sometimes torrents start downloading after a long time we added it.It is better there are more Computers which have downloaded the file completely.They are called "seeds".You can see that when you finish downloading a file your computer is also being a seed.And also the tracker will find computers which are still downloading the file from anywhere of the world.They are also uploading the file.They are 'swarms'.There can be thousands of swarms for a torrent.The swarms have downloaded the file in many percentages.But every swarm also uploads the pieces of the file it has already downloaded.
                                       That's the significance of the bitTorrent protocol.It searches pieces of the file we want and download them from there.Here any big file is downloaded divided in to pieces from 64 KB to 4 MB.You can see it under availability in your torrent client software.So a complete download is certified.As long as we seed files from our computer the torrent client software rank our computer.
According to this ranking if our computer has a upload:download ratio 0:1 our next download will be very fast.Because we are very bounteous.So a tit for tat method is used in here.
                                      Most people think that torrents may spread viruses,but that's not true.Torrent is just a file with some details to download a file using torrent protocol.There is no way to spread viruses using torrents.But the file that we download using torrent may include viruses.That can't be avoided.If you are downloading a movie don't worry, no viruses through torrents.I think you understand this situation.
                         

Thank you for reading comment any problem that you may face,any difficulties when understanding my English (LOL) etc:::

Enjoy torrent downloads

USE HARDWARE ACCELERATION FOR VIDEO PLAYBACK | 4K HEVC 10bit | GPU DECODING GOOD or BAD ?

By
So as it seems that 4K is getting popular these days, but some people who have older computers may have some trouble playing 4K videos. Especially 10bit HEVC (x265) format. But the support for hardware decoding of HEVC 10 bit videos has been added few years ago. First of all lets see whether this hardware decoding is better than normal software(CPU) decoding compared with power. We won't be playing a game while watching a movie of course, at least not with a single monitor setup. So we can stop worrying about GPU usage going for 100% while watching a movie. But you could be doing many tasks with CPU while watching a movie. It is very practical. So lets turn into power consumption. This is very important for laptops. The following details are from a laptop with Intel Core i5 8250u with Intel HD graphics 620. File details. I used VLC media player latest version. All the Nvidia and Intel drivers used here are uptodate. Make sure you have the latest software and driv

How To Move Blogger Inline Styles CSS to External CSS file with Google Drive Within 5 mins

By
Inline style are the major barrier between good SEO score and your blog.Inline styles make the code too big, so how long you write the code to text ration won't rise up.In blogger, inline styles are used by default.But most of the websites on internet use external style sheets as they are self hosted and the designers are very likely to use external CSS.Sometimes Blogger use internal styles.You can learn the difference between Internal CSS,Inline CSS and External CSS from W3 schools .Read this article on Inline VS External CSS . Probably you may have tried copying CSS between <b:skin> tags of your Blogger blog.If you tried that you already know that it doesn't work.Because Blogger has more CSS coding that won't show in Template>Edit.So to find the real exact CSS code of your blog follow these steps.For this tutorial you need a Google Drive account,if you have a Blogger account you may already have one.If you don't have a Google Drive account create one now

DC Motor,Computer Cooling Fan Speed Controller Circuit DIY using Single Transistor And a Potentiometer

By
The circuit above can control speed of your DC motors or Computer Fans.If you use this to control speed of DC motors please use a diode to protect the Transistor,brush-less fans -OK.You can change the variable speed range by changing the value of R1 potentiometer.But don't use very high values,its pointless. The transistor used here is a NPN 2n3055,it can handle up to 15A and 115W of power.And this transistor can handle up to 60V.So if you're using this for PC fans you can add more in parallel.Normally a computer fan uses about 0.4W of power.Some powerful ones may use about 7W of power.If you don't use so much power then you can use a low power transistor like C1061,D313 etc. If you don't want to change the speed too often or hard to find a potentiometer or just willing to make this out of scrap you can use a Trim resistor for R1. The transistor may heat up very much and its essential to use a Heat sink.If you can,do not solder the transistor to the PCB s
