Can someone explain Torrents to me?
    #14094342 - 03/09/11 07:01 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

I wanted to get a Twilight Princess: Legend of Zelda torrent for my mac cause I don't have a wii.
I don't know anything about torrents though, and I don't want a virus or spyware.

Go to utorrent, download it
Go to demonoid, search for what you want, sort by seeders, get the one with the most seeders. open torrent file with utorrent

It will connect and download

cool thanx. Do you know about torrents though, how they function on your computer, will my computer fuck up, do I have to pay, etc.

I think about a torrent file like a zip file. So, when you open a zip file, the files that are 'inside' are unpacked by whatever program you are using (winzip etc..) and then you can use them. But when you open the torrent file, the files that are 'inside' are all over the internet, and the program (uTorrent) downloads the files from all over the internet and then you can use them.

I try to pay attention to the torrent size before I download it. If it's a movie or a game it should be pretty big, if it's not so big then it's some type of malicious file.

After you download all the files in the torrent, you can run a virus scanner on them to make sure that there isn't anything fishy in there.

You don't have to pay.

Once you do what hesus said you will get it.

Now i dont have much knowledge on the subject, but it is my understanding that torrents (the file you run using utorrent) are composed of a list of other computers that are seeding (allowing you to download) the file you want. utorrent downloads these little file packages from various seeders until you have all of the pieces of the file.
torrents themselves are harmless and so is the torrent downloader. the websites however may have viruses. also the torrent you choose could be a downloader for a virus. so try to read comments of any file you get.

Yah, comments, trusted sources, and file size are key.

When my girlfriend moved in a few years ago and I was showing her how I get movies, games, etc., it took me awhile to explain to her that no, the new Harry Potter movie was not a five mb file, and that anyway, the first five comments said it was a malicious worm and not to download.

She fucked up the computer a few times before she understood.

Just download from Demonoid and you wont have a problem, and always read the comments on the torrent to see if it works and shit

Just a heads up. AFAIK Twilight Princess was only released for Wii and GC, so getting it to run on your mac will be another issue entirely. There are some emulators (Dolphin I think is the big one), but I don't know how well the game will run for you.

Yeah I'm not going to do it, based on what you guys have said it just sounds like a bad idea. I'm not risking fucking up my computer.

What are you talking about? How does it sound like a bad idea? I just told you as long as you use the good site, Demonoid, you will not get viruses or anything.

As long as you are not a retard, you will not get viruses. I never have

Thats what it says on Isohunt for one of the TW Princess torrents

so if I did get one that worked that means i could play it on my computer right after I downloaded right?

No, once you download this game you are going to have to find an emulator. I've never done this for Gamecube.

BTW, Foss1l already mentioned this :grin:

Yeah its just not worth it. I say fuck it. If I really want to play it again I'll just buy it and the wii. I was just going to do this if it was convenient.

You could get an emulator but I believe the software is in an early build, therefore some games don't work and you need a highend PC to run it.
