Where can I get a BitTorrent client?
Password protected Rar files
The password is most likely the url that's in the name of the torrent (posibly even with [] if it's for example "Test torrent [www.test.com]"). If that is not the case try the url of the tracker (see the details page of the torrent). If that isn't the password try to go to the tracker url (without the scrape part!) and look for a password there.
What is a .torrent file?
This is a small metadata file. Metadata here means that the file contains information about the data you want to download, not the data itself.
Your BitTorrent client needs the .torrent file to connect to the tracker (see below) and download the data you want.
What are seeds?
A seed is a client that has a complete copy of the data of a certain torrent. Once your BitTorrent client finishes downloading, it will remain open until you click the Finish button (or otherwise close it). This is known as being a seed or seeding.
What are leechers?
A leecher is a client that is currently downloading a torrent. Generally a leecher does not have the complete file, otherwise it would be called a seed.
What is a tracker?
A server on the internet that acts to coordinate the actions of BitTorrent clients. When you open a torrent, your machine contacts the tracker and asks for a list of seeds and peers to connect to.
What is a registered tracker? (icon: 
)
A registered tracker is a tracker which requires registration before you can use this service. Registered trackers usually have a high amount of seeds, because clients get banned if their ratio is too low.
What is a IMDb/Gamez number?
Torrents with this icon next to their name have a
IMDb or
Gamez number specified. This means that you can easily search for other releases with the same content. This also makes it easier to find the product website or get more information about the movie/game.
