Is uTorrent illegal?
Before you start, it is worth mentioning that uTorrent itself is perfectly legal. It is just software that allows you to download torrent files.
There is, of course, a huge amount of illegal content available on the various torrent sites that you will encounter. These are usually in the form of movies , TV shows , music albums , video games and software . This content has almost always been illegal.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that you do not download anything of this type; Due to the fact that in many cases the files are a known carrier of viruses which then infect the PC.
What is a Torrent file?
These torrent sites have been around for a long time. Essentially, they allow users to quickly download large files, because the content is divided into smaller parts, hosted by a lot of other users and not stored on a central server.
The benefit of this is the spread of file hosting, which means you are not limited to a potentially slow connection. It has been used to share free content close to the beginning of the internet.
To access the content, you will need dedicated torrent software, such as uTorrent, which you will then use to download files from Torrent sites.
Download and install on uTorrent
Go to the uTorrent website and click on the Free Download option .
There are also paid versions available, which include ad-free and Pro versions, the latter of which includes features such as being able to redirect content as soon as you start downloading and automatically converting to other formats, but for now we’ll stick with free version.
When the utorrent.exe file has been downloaded, double-click it and follow the wizard instructions to complete the installation.
An option to download the WebDiscover browser appears at one time, but if you do not want to do so, be sure to click the Decline button when prompted. When installation is complete, click Finish and UTorrent will launch.
Finding and downloading a torrent
You will notice that there is no content in uTorrent, and the sections will generally be empty (except for regular ads). To find files you will need to visit a torrent site.
If you are concerned about your ISP and want to increase security while using uTorrent, we recommend using a VPN to encrypt the connection.
See our way of using VPN features to find out how they can help you stay safe online.
uTorrent suggests using BitTorrent Now to find content and even displaying a link for it in the central window, but you can use any torrent sites you want, including The Pirate Bay and Extra Torrent or others from us in the country.
Because torrent sites often host illegal material, many of them can be disabled or closed from time to time. So you may need to search for new sites, if applicable.
Visit your favorite torrent site and find the content you want. In this demo, we use The Pirate Bay and look for the free publisher, GIMP .
In most results, you’ll see a column or note that says how many people have the content. This number is an indication of how fast the file will be downloaded, the larger it is, the more people are currently distributing the content.
Clicking on the link will open another page where you will see Get This Torrent . Select this and you should see a prompt asking you to use uTorrent to open the file. Click Open uTorrent .
You will now be presented with a window that asks you where you want to save the file, how much disk space it will take, and a few other options.
Make sure the Start Torrent box is checked in the Torrent Options section , and then click OK .
The file will now be downloaded and progress will be displayed alongside the number of people currently sharing the content.
When finished, you will find the complete file in the specified destination file and can now be treated as any other file.
