Advantages and disadvantages of using a torrent download

Whether it is Torrent? you must have wondered. Therefore I will membahasanya today.At this time many people use the download method Torrent download than the conventional method that uses the server. What cause? let's see. 

Definition Torrent 
Torrent is a network and software that enables transmission of data in a peer-to-peer (no server). Data sent by torrent is broken down first so that the process of sending large amounts of data can be done even with a computer with internet speeds are low though. Torrent created by a man named Bram Cohen in 2001 and now in the hands BitTorrent.inc company. More and more computers connected to the network torrent, then the better. 

The difference is plain to download Torrent download 
If the download regular or so-called mirror download how it works is, our computer (client) sending request data to a central computer (server) and upon receipt we can download a file from the server computer. But the drawback if a lot of requests from other computers, or server is down, the download process can be inhibited even canceled. 

But with the torrent, you download a file from another computer (other users / other clients) so that if one source is non-active can be replaced by other sources, because we do not download the torrent file as a whole rather download a file that has been broken. And also if the computer is turned off, or die suddenly, the download process can be continued another day, because the torrent file is broken down so that when the computer starts the download will proceed to the next file. 

How it works Torrent network 
You have not understood the purpose of the above? you will understand after knowing how the Torrent. 

in the torrent is called "seed". Seed is a user or computer that has a file can be downloaded. There are also so-called 'leecher / peers ". Leecher / peers are users or computers that require or who want to download the file. When one leecher has managed to download the files 100% of the seed, then the leecher's role will change to seed and help seed the file before passing out. Therefore the torrent source files are not fixated on a single source, so the download can be done with even mild is not too consuming the CPU. 

Torrent files that are broken down into sections so that, with a torrent file can be downloaded from many sources and can also be continued if at any time the computer is turned off. 


"The scheme of work torrent network. If any one color is likened to one part of the file, 7 leecher CPU is small, and large CPU is the first seed. Every leecher can work together to distribute files and leecher that already have the complete file its role will change toseed. Seed newly ready to distribute the same file " 

Examples of cases with the Torrent download. 
Maybe you want to see examples of cases download the torrent that you better know and understand. 

Case in point: for example there is someone who wants to share Microsoft Word file called "How to cook rice goreng.doc" with the size of 500KB. After the first successful seeder upload the file to the website collection torrent the files ready to be downloaded.For example there is a leecher who want to download the file. Eating the first phase should be done leecher is downloading a torrent file called "track" on the website collecting torrent download. Track contains information about the source files, and the IP address of computers that have files to cook the fried rice (IP is Internet protocol address of the computer, every computer connected to the internet has a different IP number). After that the file is run on tracks torrent software like BitTorrent or uTorrent, the download process can begin. After the download is complete then the leecher will become the second seed. 

For example, again there is one other computer that wants to download a file how to cook the fried rice. torrent file since splintered the download process can be done not only from one source. For example files how to cook fried rice the size of 500KB. And the torrent will automatically breaking down the file, for example a 100KB-100KB-100KB-100KB-100KB. Leecher can download the first 100kb of the first seed (A) and the next 100KB of second seeder (B). After successfully downloading leecher 200kb, such as seed A offline, then the next 250kb can only be downloaded from seeder B.After a successful download the 450kb there are other cases, for example, is now back online computer A and computer B is offline, then the leecher can download the rest of the shortage of seed 50KB B. 

Excess Torrent 
By downloading the file using the torrent, the file can be downloaded from many sources that are not fixated on a single source such as how to download normal. Files can also be downloaded for menyicil, so that files can be downloaded from day to day without turning on the computer with the old. If we go to the cafe, there we can setting up what we want to download. After several days we stayed only retrieve the results of a completed download. The download file will also automatically be continued every computer starts. 

Another plus is that the downloaded files with a torrent is not too consuming CPU Usage. So while we still can browse the download and even play games, do not like downloading a conventional manner to provide a lot of CPU Usage. 

Lack Torrent 
Files downloaded with torrent is a file owned by another computer user, so for game files, software or music is not original from the company's official website creator media.

Another downside is, the torrent spread viruses and trojans can spread rapidly because of the purity torrent file could not be guaranteed, unlike the download mirrors that obtained from the official website creator software that is guaranteed. 


If you want to try the method of downloading these files you can download the software.Software torrent there are many, one of which is terkenalnnya BitTorrent and uTorrent.Also the website of the famous collector torrent http://www.thepiratebay.org/ there is a lot of music files, games, video, film and even applications that can be downloaded.
