What are Torrents?

What is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent is a method of distributing large amounts of data widely without the original distributor incurring the whole of the corresponding costs of hardware, hosting and bandwidth resources. Instead of the distributor alone servicing each recipient, under BitTorrent the recipients each also supply data to newer recipients, thus significantly reducing the cost and burden on any given individual source as well as providing redundancy against system problems, and reducing dependence upon the original distributor.

What do I need to download torrents?
You'll need a BitTorrent client. There are many different BitTorrent clients each with their own pros and cons. For its user friendliness and ability to run without slowing down your Internet connection, I recommend "Azureus".

To download and install Azureus go to http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

I have a client. Now what do I do?
Now that you have a client, you can start downloading torrents. Follow the links for the album torrents to Mininova.org and click on "Download this Torrent!". This will prompt you to open or save the file; open it. Upon opening it, you will receive a prompt from azureus asking if you want to begin the torrent; click "ok".

Voila! You are now downloading a torrent. For a whole bunch more movie and tv show Torrents, go back to Mininova.org and browse around. It is by far the best torrent site and will likely be the only source of torrents you'll ever need.
