The Torrent Guide

Want to get that album but not sure its worth the money? Heard of all those illegal music downloads crippling the music industry? Well this guide is here to help YOU become part of the problem!

Pretty much everyone is aware that downloading music for free is pretty easy and highly illegal. The thing is most people dont know the best and safest way to download music. And dont forget, with torrents you can download anything! Including Books, Films, Anime, TV Shows, Music, Pictures and much more, any form of media you can think of!

Step 1:The first step to torrenting is picking your software. They are all readily available and free to download. You will need either Deluge, uTorrent, Vuze (a.k.a Azureus) or your BitTorrent Client of choice.

Step 2:For the sake of argument lets say you are using Deluge(as this is my favourite program, fuck the rest). What do you want to download? Well Ive decided I want to download the latest episode of Family Guy so I open up Mininova.org and type in Family Guy into the search box and then I select the TV Shows tab.(Another good torrent site that I would recommend is the ThePirateBay.org) There are 298 torrent Results for 'family guy' in the 'TV Shows' Tab. However the newest episode is generally the one with the most seeds so I just order my results by Seeds and click the top result.

Step 3:After I have found the torrent I want I click onto it and then on its page I press the DOWNLOAD THIS TORRENT button. Then Deluge will pop open and I select a location to save the files into and then I Press the 'Add' button.

Step 4: Depending on the ratio of Seeds:Peers, the size of the file and your limits the torrent can last from 1 second to 1 month if not more. Just be patient and leave it running when your not really using too much bandwidth and eventually you can use whatever you have downloaded.
