Opening Torrents

To open torrents, you first need a BitTorrent client - we recommend uTorrent. uTorrent, like many others, integrates itself with your web browser. When you open a torrent that you download from torrent databases, uTorrent (or your other torrent program) automatically handles the torrent.

However, sometimes this doesn't happen. If you can't open a torrent when you download it, save it to your desktop. In your BitTorrent client, there should be a button on the toolbar for adding a torrent from a file - in uTorrent, it looks like a page with a plus symbol - or an option in the 'File' menu similar to 'Add Torrent'. This should open up a window where you can navigate to your desktop, select the torrent you want to open and click 'Open'. Using this procedure, you should easily be able to open torrents.

Note: This guide is designed for Windows users. If you use a mac or linux system, you may need to follow a slightly different procedure.
