Hi guys First a fall let me tell you guys something about, what is torrent?

Torrent is a peer to peer (p2p) file sharing technology.peer to peer means like if you are the the owner of file you are a seeder and then another person downloads the file and also become a seeder in some time a third person starts downloading the file the file starts getting downloaded from seeder 1 and on seeder 2 if after few seeder owner remove seeding it. Then also it can be downloaded from same download link that other seeders are seeding that It is so famous platform that approximately 3.5% traffic on internet comes from torrents.
