Crusaders of might and magic

Drake stands before the entrance to Ardon's legendary Catacombs. For generations these halls have been locked in an effort to contain their vile inhabitants: the Legion of the Fallen. The undead hordes of the Legion recently burst forth from the Catacombs and overtook the Stronghold, Ardon's central military outpost. Whoever controls the Stronghold controls the only road between Western and Eastern Ardon.
Supply and trade routes between the Human and Dwarven communities have been severed, and the Legion is becoming a very real threat to the surrounding communities. The crusaders of Ardon have done what they could to protect the people of Cador Sul and the Citadel, but the Legion is a formidable presence now that its occupied the Stronghold. The Stronghold is the key.
Enter Drake, a mercenary who's driven by his contempt for the Legion. Fate draws Drake to Celestia, the ruler of the Citadel and head of the Crusaders. She enlists Drake's help in the effort to regain control of the Stronghold. The Horn of Shattering is the one artifact that can bring down the Stronghold's gates. It needs to be retrieved from the Dwarves of Corantha. The only way to Corantha, unfortunately, is through the Catacombs...Drake unsheathes his sword and prepares for the greatest challenge of his life.

Torrent principle

The BitTorrent protocol was made mainly for temporarily very popular files - for example when a new movie or music album comes up. The download speed increases proportionately to the number of users downloading the same file and that is the biggest advantage of torrents.

When you are downloading something through torrent, you share your already downloaded part at the same time (for this reason you break the law in most countries when you are downloading illegal data). When you start downloading, your application contacts a "tracker" server, which co-ordinates all clients (other users' applications). From the tracker the application finds out where to download from, which parts have the other users already downloaded and so on. Also your application informs the tracker about what part you were able to download until now - and by that it gives it at other users' disposal.

Problems

A situation, when the tracker server is not functional may turn up. In this case you can't begin downloading, but if you already are downloading, it doesn't have to be necessarily a problem to finish the download (your client already knows where to download from).
Then there may be no one downloading or sharing but you. Therefore you have nowhere to download from. This happens with old and unpopular torrents.
Theoretically a situation when there is nobody that has the file complete may come up (such user is called "seed" or "seeder") and you simply can't get the whole file together from the parts other users have.

Torrent clients

There is a large amount of free applications, that are able to download with torrents. You can choose here from the most commonly used (and also the best, they're most used for a reason).

Setting a torrent client

If there are no other complications, usually the only thing you need to set is your upload speed (your internet connection speed in the direction out from you). If you don't know it, you can easily find it out on speedtest.net (remember, 8kbps equals 1 KBps, so if you need your speed in kilobytes, divide the kbps by 8).

Download the clients

The most commonly used torrent client. It is very popular for its simplicity, reliability and also its size - only around 200KB. It has a very nice web site, including extensive forums - if you have any problems. The clear choice for newbies! The "u" at the beginning of the name means micro, they rather use "u" because it's easier to write and there are no problems with encoding.

Azureus

Another very favourite client, written in Java (You need to have JREinstalled, but that is very common). It is highly customizable, whilst it has no complicated controls. This application is open-source. The program's logo is the Blue Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates azureus). The Azureus name was given to the project by co-creator Tyler Pitchford, who uses the Latin names of poison dart frogs as codenames for his development projects.

What is a torrent?

Torrent is a small file (around few kilobytes) with the suffix .torrent, which contains all the information needed to download a file the torrent was made for. That means it contains file names, their sizes, where to download from and so on. You can get torrents for almost anything on lots of web sites and torrent search engines.

Torrent is the most popular way of downloading large files, including movies and games (remember legality of downloading)

Downloading with a torrent is advantageous especially when downloading files, which are momentarily very popular and whitch lots of people are downloading. Because the more people download the file, the higher speed for everyone (see torrent principle).

• torrent is a file
• with torrents you can download almost everything on the net
• every file (or set of files) need to have an unique torrent file to download it
• to download anything through a torrent you need a torrent client

You probably already tried another ways of p2p sharing - torrent is just another method. The original BitTorrent client was written in Python and it has been made open-source. Thanks to that, we have a large variety of torrent clients today. Just choose which one you like.

How to download files with a torrent?

Downloading with a torrent is actually very simple. You just need a rightly set torrent client (setting your connection speed is usually all you need to set). Then you open the torrent file inside your client, set a place where you want to download desired files and then just wait till it's downloaded. Downloading with a torrent is no more complicated than using any other p2p application, but even simpler.

Newest client versions:
uTorrent - 1.7.7(220 KB)
Azureus - 3.0.5.0(7,5 MB)
