Torrent Download Resources

You torrent, I torrent, we all torrent. Torrents are a type of file sharing network, similiar to P2P (think napster, limewire, etc)... except better.

Torrent Clients

First, you need the software for downloading torrents...here are my top picks:

µTorrent - Free, and very lightweight BitTorrent client for Windows or Mac with many features - I highly recommend this software.

BitTorrent - Another good client.

Vuse - Free java Bittorrent client formerly known as Azureus

Top Places to Search for Torrents:

The Pirate Bay - Stockholm district court sentenced Pirate Bay founders to a year in prison, plus over $USD 3.5 million in fines. But the site is still an amazing resource.

Vertor.com - Claims to filter out bad torrents, viruses, passwords, DRM locks, and fakes.

Mininova.org - Personal favorite.

ISOHunt - Advanced BitTorrent search engine with cross-referenced tracker statistics.

Other Torrent Tools you Might Need:

WinRar - Got a strange collection of files you downloaded from torrent, but can't figure out how to get the peices back together? You probably need to download WinRar.

K-lite Codec Pack - Can't view a movie you downloaded? You probably need a codec -- this is a good resource.
