Bittorrent is a P2P network system created to help with the download and exchange of data. This type of system allows people who have downloaded a file to share it with other people, and best of all, this technology is legal, although most torrent sites do spread copyrighted material, but hey , that's another issue.

Now the first thing you should do is download the BitTorrent application.

Once installed, you have to authorize permissions so that the application can access photos, files and media.

Once inside the application, you can find a screen to Torrent files. As you have not downloaded any files so far, the Torrents view will be empty.

Therefore, to perform the search and download a torrent file, you can go to various legitimate torrent sites on the web. A good example is Internet Archive, page that offers legal Torrents.

ACCESS Internet Archive

To download it, you just have to touch the download link, either torrent or magnet.

Then the application will open automatically and the data will begin to download.

In it, you will see the files tab where the torrents are located (uploading and downloading). In addition, you will visualize the "Details" tab which will show you the download time and speed; also the number of people with whom you are sharing the file and the number of «Seeds», which are the users who are sharing a file.

Once the download is complete, you can use the file in any way you want.

Important note
Before downloading the app and any torrent file It is important that you verify that you have enough space on your device. In addition, you have to bear in mind that your device needs to have an antivirus and a VPN installed, and a WI-FI connection for it to work optimally.
