These web sites help you locate and download torrent files. You can then open them with a BitTorrent client program. By using these websites to search the Internet for torrent files, you will find a vast selection of free music, videos, movies, games, applications, and more. Once you find a torrent file of interest, be sure to check the formats of the files included in the torrent so that you know what your are getting yourself into. Check out our Software resources for programs that help you convert file formats or discover how to handle unfamiliar ones. For example, we find a lot folks are unfamiliar with a .rar file. This is a compression utility much like .zip. A simple utility may be all that is needed to decompress or unzip such a file. Click the Glossary link for definitions of items that you may be unfamiliar with, but if you don’t find it here, don’t give up, just search Google, which, by the way can also locate many other torrent search websites for you. Finally, it makes sense to look for any reviews of the torrent that others may have posted, which offer comments about the format and quality of the download. Certain torrent search websites will offer the ability to post comments about the included files in a torrent.
