There are two ways to add and stream torrents using uTorrent Web. First, the user can click the +Torrent button where are options to upload torrent files and add magnet links. Second, the user can. This wikiHow teaches you how to find, download, and open torrent files on your computer. A torrent is a simple file that contains information needed to access and download larger, more complex files such as videos or programs.

2. How To Download Torrents With Utorrent

A file with the TORRENT file extension is a BitTorrent Data file that contains information about how files should be accessed through the BitTorrent P2P network.

Much like a URL, TORRENT files simply point to another area on the internet where the file is at and use that location to retrieve the data. Also like a URL, this means that if the location of the file is not active on the internet, the data can't be downloaded.

Things like file names, locations, and sizes are included in a TORRENT file, but not the actual data itself. A torrent program is required to download the digital files referenced from within the TORRENT file.

While there are many places to find TORRENT files, most are used to spread copyrighted movies, music, and games, which is considered illegal in many countries. Fortunately, there are also free and absolutely legal alternatives where you can watch TV shows online, stream movies online, download music, find audiobooks, and download PC games.

How to Open a TORRENT File

Take great care when downloading software, music, or anything else through torrents. Since you're most likely taking files from people you don't know, you always run the risk of there being malware included with the data. It's important to have an antivirus program installed to catch anything potentially dangerous.

TORRENT files are opened in a torrent client like uTorrent or Vuze, or even online through a website like Filestream, Seedr, or Put.io. If you're on an Android device, you can use the Flud or uTorrent app.

Online torrent sites like Filestream and ZBIGZ download the torrent data for you on their own servers and then give you the files to download directly through your web browser like you would a normal, non-torrent file.

Downloading torrents online with Put.io or another web-based torrent client, is helpful if your ISP or institution blocks or limits BitTorrent traffic. This works because from the service provider's point of view, the downloads aren't any different than regular HTTP traffic.

The contents, or instructions, of TORRENT files, can sometimes be viewed using a text editor. However, even if you can read through the TORRENT file as a text file, there's nothing in there that you can download or realistically use/read — you have to use a torrent client to actually get the files.

Here's an example of what's behind a TORRENT file (this one downloads Ubuntu):

How to Convert a TORRENT File

A free file converter is the method of choice for converting most file types, like DOCX, MP4, etc., but TORRENT files are an exception.

Since a TORRENT file's purpose is for holding instructions and not for storing files themselves, the only reason to convert a TORRENT file is to save it under a new format that can still utilize those instructions. For example, you're able to convert a TORRENT file to a magnet link (similar to .TORRENT) with the Torrent > > Magnet website.

Something you most certainly cannot do with TORRENT files converts them to 'regular' file types like MP4, PDF, ZIP, MP3, EXE, MKV, etc. Again, TORRENT files are only instructions for downloading these types of files, not the files themselves, which means no amount of converting of any sort could ever pull these types of files out of a TORRENT file.

For example, while a TORRENT file can describe to a torrent client how to download, say, the Ubuntu operating system, simply changing or converting the .TORRENT file itself will not get you that OS, or anything really.

You instead would need to download the .TORRENT file from the Ubuntu website and use it with a torrent client, which would then download the ISO file that makes up the operating system — it's that ISO file that the TORRENT file explains to the torrent client how to download.

However, at this point, after the ISO has been downloaded, you can convert the ISO file like you would any other file by using a free file converter. It doesn't matter if the TORRENT file was used to download PNG images or MP3 audio files — you can then use an image converter or audio converter to convert them to JPG or WAV files, for example.

Still Can't Open the File?

Some file extensions looks similar to others, but that doesn't mean that the files themselves are related or that they can be used by the same programs.

For example, TORRENT and TOR look alike but the latter is a file extension used for Star Wars: The Old Republic asset files that holds game data like weapons and music. The Star Wars: The Old Republic game is needed in order to make use of TOR files.

TRN is another example that could be confused for a TORRENT file even though it's actually used for SQL Server Transaction Log Backup files and opened with Microsoft SQL Server.

Torrent Files Download Sites

Download and stream movies, TV shows and other multimedia files right away using this simple and straightforward P2P file sharing tool

Counting dozens of millions of users across the globe uTorrent is among the most popular and widely-used P2P sharing file tool. Although it was a rather quiet launch, BitTorrent has launched a web version of their client that is estimated to rival the standalone client in the long run.

uTorrent Web is a lightweight piece of software that enables you to download and stream torrents directly in your default web browser. As with the original client, the tool allows you to open torrent and magnet link files automatically in a browser window.

Comes with an advanced streaming function

While you may be tempted to believe, this is simply another version of the same application, the truth is that the app comes with a major perk, which is the streaming option. Therefore, if you are downloading multimedia files, you will be happy to learn that they take very little to load and they can be played right away. On a side note, the load and play quality are both influenced by the downloading speed.

When streaming videos, you can enjoy both audio and video that work fairly well. Moreover, if the file you are grabbing contains more than one audio or video source, you can select the one you want. It goes without saying that the tool enables you to download other types of files from the web, but the difference is that these are not streamed.

An interesting alternative, but could use more preferences

Even though the streaming is the strong point of the tool, the truth is that the project is still in its infancy and you can easily observe that as soon as you access the Preferences window. To be more precise, you can modify the download location and specify the speed for the time being. Nevertheless, more options are likely to appear in the near future, depending on the suggestions and needs of the users.

All in all, uTorrent Web is a reliable P2P file sharing product, but it would be unfair to compare it to the big names at least for the time being. Consequentially, if you are looking for something fast and intuitive to grab and stream torrents from the web, then perhaps you can consider giving it a try.
