Ultimate Beginners Guide for Torrents | Start using Torrents in 10 Minutes

Posted by on October 7, 2009 13 comments

What is a torrent?

Torrents are specialized files utilized in peer-to-peer (P2P) network environments. The first P2P software designed to utilize torrents was BitTorrent by Bram Cohen.

How torrent is different from Limewire?

A torrent system works a little different from how limewire does. When you search in Limewire, the program scouts through other Limewire user files to find what best matches your search. If you choose to download a file, it makes a copy of the other persons (or group of peoples) file and puts it onto your computer.

Torrents work in much the same way. However, a separate file first needs to be downloaded. This separate file, commonly known as a torrent (.torrent) file, has all the information needed to download what you want. Basically, the torrent file is a set of instructions where and what to get. The big benefit of this system is that you can download entire libraries of files, not just one by one.

Credit

What is a .torrent file?

To start the download of a file, a user has to click on a link pointing to .torrent meta-data file. These meta-data files are not stored on the torrent trackers server, but are distributed among a number of .torrent file servers. In turn, each .torrent file points to a tracker, which keeps a global registry of all the downloaders and seeds of the corresponding file. The tracker responds to a user’s request with a list of some of the peers having (part of) the requested file, with whom the user can establish direct connections to barter for chunks of the file. One tracker can supervise the simultaneous downloads of multiple files.

What is Seed?

This is a torrent downloader who completely is finished downloading the files. Now he/she is only distributing.

What is Leecher/Peer?

This is the term used for a torrent downloader who is downloading the torrent. This would be you if your not 100% done with the download.

What is a torrent tracker?

A tracker is a program, not located on your computer, which keeps track of everyone who is downloading the same torrent. Each torrent file comes with their own instruction to which tracker the torrent belongs to. BitTorrent trackers are software server “toolkit” applications that typically run on Web sites.

Tracker software serves up torrent files for download from a web site. The torrent tracker maintains information about all BitTorrent clients utilizing each torrent. Using the tracker, the program connects to different peers from which it gets the files.

What is a bit torrent client?

A BitTorrent client is any program which implements the BitTorrent protocol. Each client is capable of preparing, requesting, and transmitting any type of computer file over a network, using the protocol.

How does it work?

What basically happens is a users browses a torrent tracker to find a torrent file of interest, download it, and open it with a BitTorrent client. The client connects to the tracker specified in the torrent file, from which it receives a list of peers currently transferring pieces of the file(s) specified in the torrent. The client connects to those peers to obtain the various pieces.

Such a group of peers connected to each other to share a torrent is called a swarm. If the swarm contains only the initial seeder, the client connects directly to it and begins to request pieces. As peers enter the swarm, they begin to trade pieces with one another, instead of downloading directly from the seeder.

Now, Getting things done? Start Downloading

First of all, you need a program that will take the torrent file and download the files associated with it. There are Softwares for torrents but because all the programs are mostly exactly the same, it doesn’t really matter which one to chose.

A lot of Torrents websites are there, where you can find torrent downloads in almost many categories.

Search for the files you want like ‘OpenSuse’ or ‘Need For Speed Most Wanted’ Game. When you get your results, download the file  utorrent should automatically identify and download and open giving you options about what files to download, where to put them etc. Press ok, and the file should start downloading. Your done!

Live in The Virtual 3D World with Second-Life | A Voyage of the Virtual World

Posted by on September 7, 2009 1 comment

Getting bored with your life? Now on internet you can start a new one, sounds strange but its true. Now Internet is itself a complete package of the things we people do in our life & the things we like. Are you ready to live the Second Life but in the virtual world of internet, so design your new appearance, home, friends & enter in to the virtual utopia that can be as detailed as you like, and you are the sovereign – down to details of currency, economy and government. This is all possible in games such as Second Life, by San Francisco-based Linden Lab.

Virtual Touch Layer Keyboards and Projection Technologies | A Voyage of the Virtual World

Second Life (Second Life is an online game that gives you a new life in a virtual world) “world” resides in a large array of Linden Lab servers. Subscribers (“residents”) run the Second Life client program which allows them, via the internet, to view and modify the Second Life world and participate in its economy. Most of the content is resident-created; indeed, residents retain the intellectual property rights. Second Life residents are represented by an avatar which may be customized in a variety of ways.

The basic avatar is a humanoid in shape and, through a series of graphical user interface (GUI) controls, can be modified by adjusting parameters such as size, build, colours and hair style. Residents can also create or buy clothing, and fit out their avatars with accessories. Second Life has its own economy, and a currency called Linden dollars (LUSD). Residents receive an initial amount of LUSD when they open an account, and a weekly stipend thereafter, the amount depending on the type of account. Additional currency can be acquired by selling objects or services within the environment. Residents can purchase LUSD directly, or convert between Linden currency and US currency through Linden Lab’s currency brokerage, the LindX Currency Exchange, with a rate that fluctuates daily. Interest groups can be created for a fee of LUSD 100. After three days an additional two members must have been recruited, otherwise the investment is lost and the group is deleted.

Second Life has become very popular. Many real-world celebrities have confessed to “living” their second lives in the virtual world. Problems also exist in this utopia. Some residents are malevolent; thus, groups of residents are actively trying to damage the world, by creating self-replicating objects that may eventually paralyse the server. Second Life speculators buy land at low costs in hopes of earning quick profits when it appreciates in value. There have even been real-life lawsuits against Linden Labs for loss of virtual property.

A virtual second life may not be such a utopia after all. It is entertaining & becoming eminent on the Internet.
