What is a TORRENT file?
A torrent is a type of file that allows for peer-to-peer sharing of a variety of file types. Torrents can be used with any compatible file-sharing software, such as BitLord. It is important to note that the torrent itself does not actually contain the data that a user is sharing on the P2P network. What the TORRENT file does contain is general information about the data, such as the name and size of the file and the file's Internet location.
Torrent files are very common in music and video downloads and they are used on almost all file-sharing platforms. Torrents allow users to download larger files more quickly than if they had to download the entire file from a single host, since the file format allows users to download the same file from multiple "seeds" to complete the download process more quickly.
