A torrent is a file sent via the BitTorrent protocol. It can be just about any type of file, such as a movie, song, game, or application.
During the transmission, the file is incomplete and therefore is
referred to as a torrent. Torrent download that have been paused or
stopped cannot be opened as regular files, since they do not contain all
the necessary data. However, they can often be resumed using a
BitTorrent client, as long as the file is available from another server.
Torrents
are different from regular downloads in that they are usually
downloaded from more than one server at a time. The BitTorrent protocol
uses multiple computers to transfer a single file, thereby reducing the
bandwidth required by each server.
When
a torrent download is started, the BitTorrent system locates multiple
computers with the file and downloads different parts of the file from
each computer. Likewise, when sending a torrent, the server may send the
file to multiple computers before it reaches the recipient. The result
is a lower average bandwidth usage, which speeds up file transfers.
