So, nowadays all the people who are connected through the internet uses Torrent Sharing to download files, software’s and many more. Though it is illegal because of the sharing of pirated movies, software’s and many more mostly it is used due to the high price of all kind of data in the market. So here I bring you a post on how does exactly Torrent Sharing works?

Torrent File - sharing is all about "swarming and tracking", where users download many small bits of file from many different sources at once. Because this format compensates for bottleneck points, it is actually faster than downloading a large file from a single source.

Swarming - It is about splitting large data files into hundreds of smaller "bits" of files, and then sharing those bits across a "swarm" of dozens of linked users.

Tracking – It is when specific servers help swarm users find each other.

Swarm members use special Torrent client software to upload, download, and reconstruct the many file bits into complete usable files.

Special .torrent text files act as pointers during this whole process, helping users find other users to swarm with, and enforcing quality control on all shared files.

Torrent sharing goes like, if you share files via Bit-Torrents, you will be rewarded with increased download speed. Conversely, if you choose to "leech" and not share your files upwards, you will be punished with slow download speeds.

Download speed is controlled by torrent tracking servers, who monitor all swarm users. If you share, tracker servers will reward you by increasing your allotted swarm bandwidth (sometimes up to 1500 kilobits per second). Similarly, if you leech and limit your upload sharing, tracking servers will choke your download speeds, sometimes to as slow as 1 kilobit per second. Indeed, the "Pay It Forward" philosophy is digitally enforced! Leeches are not welcome in a Bit-Torrent swarm.

Users use mostly torrent download software’s like u-torrent and Bit-Torrent.
