Since times when the speed of the Internet has stoppedto calculate in kilobits, became popular torrent trackers. Many computer users use torrents to exchange information, but very few people understand the principle of this system. First of all, this is the program through which you download and upload files from your computer. But first things first.

Torrent - a peer-to-peer network, a special protocol,which was developed by Bram Cohen. Originally it was designed to quickly transfer large files between two computers. The word "peering" refers to the fact that no server is required to transfer files. It is required to install a special client on the computer, which periodically needs to be updated and that's it! You can now distribute or receive files.

But not all so quickly. Exchange occurs through special trackers - sites on which so-called distributions are conducted. If you visit one of these sites, you can select the file you need. And download it at the highest possible speed. Clicking on the tracker on the "Download" button, you will receive a small file on your computer that needs to be opened through a special program. But before that it is recommended to update the torrent.

Entering the distribution, you first needmake sure that it is supported by a sufficient number of siders. Siders are people who have a full copy of this file and are ready to give you it to download. It is on this that the possibility of transferring and sharing files via the torrent is built. One distributes, the other pumps. And on the distribution can be a lot of siders, so that the speed of your download will be limited only by the Internet channel. The role of the torrent tracker is to distribute the siders and peers so that the file exchange goes efficiently and quickly. But for a more efficient jump on the torrent connection, you will need broadband internet. If you have any problems with downloading, you can try to update the torrent.

How does all this look in practice? Let's say you want to download new movies from the torrent, you go to the tracker, find the name of the hands in the search, download the torrent file and everything. But before that, a special program must be installed, through which this file can be opened.

It happens that on trackers are laid outdistribution, in which files are periodically supplemented, for example, this is the case with serials, where new series are added. To download the missing files, you just need to update the torrent.

As you can see, torrent trackers allowto exchange large files in two mouse clicks. All the necessary music albums, you can now download at high speed. All movies and games are also available. But do not forget about copyright. Torrent trackers actively violate it, the state tries to prevent it, but at the moment all attempts are in vain. It is not known how things will be with this case in the future, but the closure of torrent trackers will entail serious limitations in access to content.

By the way, the torrent trackers were pushed to the secondplan various file sharing. In addition, having unique content, you can create distributions on your own, it's enough to update the torrent. Due to high speed, it became possible to download movies from the torrent in high resolution.
