BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer sharing protocol developed in 2001. To this day, it's one of the most popular p2p file-sharing protocols ever created. It's widely used for ing... uh... legal copies ISO Files of various Linux distributions and FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software) like LibreOffice, GIMP etc. because sometimes it has a higher speed of ing.

In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to obtain a legal copy of LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite, using qBittorent as a client. If you intended to follow along, please install qBittorent.

In order to contents using BitTorrent protocol, you need to have the .torrent file or a magnet link first. These files contains metadata of the contents you're intended to torrent.

In the LibreOffice site, you'll see there's an option for Torrent



This will .torrent file.


Or click Info and you'll be presented with the magnet link



Either the .torrent file, or copying the magnet link. Then open your qBittorrent.


If you choose to the .torrent file, then click "Add Torrent File...". But if you choose to use Magnet Link, select "Add Torrent Link..." and click . Either way, you'll be presented with this screen



In this screen, you can change the directory. Make sure that "Start Torrent" is selected. And the contents that you want to on the right pane is also selected. Then click OK.



Your LibreOffice should start to .
There're some vocabularies that may seems strange to you, here's their meanings:

1. Seeds: They're people who had finished ing and is sharing their completed copy on the internet. A peer or er becomes a seed when it completely s all the data and continues/starts ing data for other peers to from.
2. Leech: Leech has two meanings. Often, leecher is synonymous with er: simply describing a peer or any client that does not have 100% of the data. Or someone with very poor share ratio
3. Peers: A peer is one instance of a BitTorrent client running on a computer on the Internet to which other clients connect and transfer data. Depending on context, "peer" can refer either to any clients which may or may not finished their or more specifically to a er, a client that has only parts of the file.
4. Ratio: The ratio of data ed vs data ed, since BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer protocol, your ed contents, wheter completed or not, may be ed by someone else too. A ratio of 1 means that you've shared the same amount of what you ed, a ratio below 1 means you share less than you ed, and a ratio above 1 means that you shared more than you ed. The basic manners of torrent s is that your ratio should be at least 1 before you stop seeding.
5. Availability: the number of peers who have a copy of that piece, the higher the better.
6. Piece: This refers to the torrented files being divided up into equal specific sized pieces (e.g., 64kB, 128kB, 512kB, 1MB, 2MB, 4MB or 8MB). The pieces are distributed in a random fashion among peers in order to optimize trading efficiency.

After you finished your , the torrent will move from "ing" to "Completed" tab. You could stop seeding by either exiting qBittorrent, or right click on your torrent file and click "Pause".

Note that files that you did not paused or removed will resume ing and/or seeding when you starts your qBittorrent client.

Dude got the wish version lol.
qBittorrent is the best client by far imo, utorrent is basically malware now (ads + I think there was some crypto mining at some point?).

Hello there.

for a simplified version:

your torrent client, copy the magnet link or the torrent file, and then paste the magnet link on the app or open the torrent file, after that, you wait, and that's it.

You don't even need to copy the link if it's clickable just click it and open with client.

that's qBittorrent not bittorrent, specify that in the title

jab?

depending on the site you are there may be popups for the magnet, so I personally just prefeer copying it, still, if the site is trustworthy you can just click on it

Yeah I demonstrate it using qBittorrent, but the principles (i.e., torrent files, magnet links, seed, ratio, etc) are the same.

Ok.

You mean some have fake links? lol never seen that but yeah it's safer to copy I guess.

It's in the first few paragraphs that OP indirectly endorses qBitTorrent, however, I do agree that he should have been more pushy with it, considering that BitTorrent as a client is shit.

Thanks! Now I can finally government secretive documents and leak them online

It isn't. It doesn't go into any more details than someone should need to know about the protocol. Overly technical would be OP explaining the protocol's inner workings in detail, not explaining a basic glossary of the used around and torrenting etiquette.

idk, if this is a guide on how to use torrent, all the definition of words are unnecessary, you don't need to know those words to this. If it's a guide on what bittorrent is, then how to a client is unnecessary,

Libreoffice based.

Bit torrent is the name of the protocol. qBittorrent (and many others) are clients that implemented the protocol.

Those definitions are necessary. Also beginners won't know what client to use so I give them one of the easiest one to use. And the tutorial don't contain how to install qBittorrent.

Force reannounce should do the same, but sometimes there's just 0 seeder.
