Check out my newer video on Torrents and Virtual Disk Drives with Daemon Tools Lite

This is a long video because I explain a little bit about what torrents are and also how to use a client like uTorrent. Then I went into explaining how to mount and load ISO files because that is a common file you may come across when looking for programs. Here are the links:

Best Torrents: The Top 35 Torrent Download Sites of 2012

Disclaimer and legal warning for new torrent users:I do not condone illegal sharing of copyrighted material. While P2P file sharing technology is completely legal, many of the files traded through P2P are indeed copyrighted. Uploading these copyrighted files puts you at risk of a civil lawsuit in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK. While these lawsuits are often class-action suits, filed against groups of users who blatantly copy and distribute copyrighted materials, some lawsuits are harshly targeted at making examples of individual downloaders. These P2P civil lawsuits are very real, and whether or not they are successful, they are extreme financial and emotional burdens on the defendant.

ISP warning: your ISP may choose to release logs of your downloading/uploading activity to potential copyright plaintiffs. The more megabytes you download, the more you risk being sued by copyright protection groups.

It also depends on the people you are downloading from and what they allow to go out at the speed they set. Also if you are one cable, you share the internet with everyone on your street. So heavy traffic times mean your internet will slow down.

Because what I've learned about torrent(ing) has all been from the internet, you helped me understand better what I'm doing. And yea, I did get one of those messages from Comcast and I wasn't sure why, but now I know. You didn't talk down to me, you just talked to me. And I like that. Thanks

Thank you so much johnny. I am an older guy and I love gaming but There are a lot of thing that I don't understand. Your video was so easy to follow along. I watched it once and then watched it again while doing it myself. I got it right the first time. You are awesome.

[johnnythegeek]

Wow thanks for clarifying! I feel so dumb not seeing the Mu symbol. Thanks for watching!

[Mssankacoffee]

Thank you very much for this vid. I'm an absolute new to torrenting and this has helped me to understand the steps and terms. People like me very much appreciate your efforts.

[lincenberg]

Thanks for the explanation. As an absolute novice with torrenting, this is a great place to start.

[jasonreynolds]

thanks for braking it down in my language which is not computer smart language.i was happy to know that there is one that is nice enough to take time to sit and do this for people that have no knowledge whatsoever on puters.ill be looking for your videos on anyrhing else i want to learn about downloading and shit.thanks again for ur time.

[johnnythegeek]

not sure about that. It might be that destination drive for the download does not have enough space.

[johnnythegeek]

@Manchunia88 lol. seems that way but that is when I am using the internet and also when other people I share the internet with. Usually at night I bring it up to 80kbps.

[Pattyaribri]

Thank you, this has been the clearest tutorial I have ever experienced on youtube.

Hi Johnny, That was a great video I had no idea of what a torrent was or how to use them. I just wanted to know and thanks to you I now understand what it is great job. Thank you.

[GypsySoul]

Thanks Johnny this is a great vid for some of us older baby boomers who are just trying to figure this stuff out.

Yes Torrents are free to download. Kickass is good and so is demonoid if you can get in. Those are the only two I know that are good. There are no charges for accessing torrent sites. I can't say what Greece internet service providers do with your internet traffic though. I am almost certain they won't be charging you though. Thanks for watching!

[johnnythegeek]

yes. almost identical. very little difference. thanks for watching!

[johnnythegeek]

I have not seen that problem before. You could increase the que from 8 to something more.

[johnnythegeek]

it may not be F: look for the drive that looks like a Blue Ray drive. Also, in my computer right click on your optical drive. Which ever one does not eject is most likely the virtual drive. Thanks for watching!

[picoteejay]

Thankyou!! :) I appreciate all the effort you put into explaining torrenting to simpletons like me ;D

[DontFeedMasterYi]
