You need a web or desktop-based torrent client, such as BitTorrent Classic, to send or receive files through the BitTorrent protocol. After you specify the torrent file to be downloaded, you can click on the file or drag it into your free torrent software. The protocol is fast and efficient to distribute files from many buyers to your home computer, as the protocol takes advantage of hundreds of millions of active torrent programs installed on home computers around the world. If you keep your torrent program running, you can seed the same files you get from others; This allows you to share the files with others.
