How to Use Bit Torrent

Do you want to use a popular Bittorent client to download from Bittorent websites? Basically, Torrent works better than P2P, which requires a full file to share, with no incentive to do so. This results in super slow speeds. Bittorent, on the other hand, works instantly. You download parts of the file, and share it with others, improving the network health, as you download files quicker than ever.

Steps

1. Search Google and Download a Popular Bittorent client. Here are some user favorites: BitLord, BitComet, Azureus, BiTtornado, or uTorrent. Only one is necessary.
2. Install a protective program to keep snoops such as the RIAA and MPAA out. Highly recommended is Peer Guardian. This is like a firewall except a bit more extensive protection when using p2p programs.
3. Search for torrent sites, and download a .torrent file. Open it, and your bittorent program should automatically parse you where to save and initiate your download. Choose a path and start downloading your file!

Tips

* Get your terminology in order.
o The leecher is a person who only downloads and doesn't upload.
o Seeder - This term are what results in completing a download, and "seeding" the file for other people (including leechers) to download.
o Tracker - This is the overlord, and every torrent website has one. It keeps track of all the seeders and leechers, and all other activity.
o Torrent File - Usually, this is a small file you download that gives instructions to your Bittorent Client that you downloaded in step one.
* You should always share close to your total upload speed, which you could set in your bittorent programs options.
* When downloading a file, a Torrent with a high number of seeds and leechers will result in a faster download.
* A Torrent without any seeds but a high number of leechers coulld mean your download can finish, but without a seed, the whole file might not exist.
* Many web sites which host torrent files are public but some are private. Private sites are usually geared towards one particular topic such as Music Only or Movies Only, etc. Private sites require an invite from a registered member to join. Check forums and IRC Chat rooms where people who are interested in that particular topic your interested in may hang out. Don't scream out "Does anyone have any invites". Pretend you're fishing .. be peoples friend and then slip in "err.. I was wondering by any chance if you have an invite you could spare..."
* Private sites require you to share what you upload. This is called your ratio. The best ratios are ones where you upload more than you download. If you have a bad ratio you will get banned from that site.

MP3 Music Downloads - Tips To Get Free MP3 Music Downloads

MP3 music downloads are so precious in the eyes of music fanatics. In this article we will be taking a look at some ways to get free quality MP3 music downloads. When it comes to finding music MP3 files for any portable music player, it can be extremely easy but not all of the sites you visit are of good quality. In fact there are only a few sites which people would consider using as they work properly when it comes to getting downloads of music onto their MP3 players. Below we provide you with some tips on how to download quality MP3 music for free onto your MP3 player.



Tip 1

There are lots of sites that now offer you access to free MP3 music downloads for your MP3 which is copyrighted material. However there are others where downloading music from them is completely illegal and could give you a whole lot of trouble in the future. So, please check the legality of the site before you commence any downloads to be safe.

Tip 2

Rather than purchasing your MP3 music downloads from a pay per download site, go for the ones where you have to sign up for a membership instead. With these sites, many offer you the chance to have a life time membership with them for less than $40. They then allow you to download unlimited music at your own convenience.

Tip 3

Look for those sites that offer as large a database as possible with a wide range of music genres for you to choose from. But not only so, these sites should be offering the chance to download your favourite old songs as well as the new ones.

Tip 4

There are some sites that will only allow you to download a small snippet or trailer of a particular piece of music or song for your MP3. So you need to spend some time checking out to make sure that their database actually offers you the chance to download complete songs or pieces of music. Remember they are providing you with a service where you should have the flexibility available to you to be able to download anything that you are looking for.

Tip 5

At all times you should check to make sure that the site you are looking to get free MP3 music downloads is void of any kind of Spyware or Adware. If they are not, then avoid them at all costs as these sites will create havoc with your PC or laptop in the future.

Tip 6

Finally you should be looking for those music sites with a good customer service support. It is important that you choose those sites which offer 24/7 support either by email or telephone that you can contact if you are having problems with their software or a download.

It is indeed interesting to note that there are so many things to consider when choosing a good music site to download music MP3. Discover which sites offer the best value for money for MP3 music downloads at my music blog.
