Many people use them to conveniently share freeware or their own files. You can find plenty of torrent clients on the Play store for free. Now that you have an app that recognizes torrent files, you can find torrents on your own. Some torrent apps have a built-in search engine, but it can be more convenient to find torrent websites with your browser. Pick one, and in the search bar type the name of the file that you want to download.
You should choose a torrent with a good number of seeders and then download it. Don't even think about trying to use a torrent on a school wireless network; you may end up getting expelled. What is it that you are trying to download? McHenryB :. I can understand perfectly what Skittle was saying; he answered as if you were running Linux - not unreasonable as you posted in the Linux forum. Yes I assume you were running Linux.
Same sort of requirements apply to windows though: If for some reason the HDD is not mounted think a removable drive that has been "safely removed" then you cannot write to it. Also if for some reason the torrent clients or your user do not have write permission on the drive. Or a myriad of other reasons. To expand on blocking torrent traffic, traditionally it is very hard because many traffic are encrypted so packet detection algorithms do not work well.
The only reliable method is to block by default all ports other than 43 and 80 for normal web traffic but this still does not stop someone from using torrent over port 43 and 80 and has other undesirable consequences.
So I think the problem is unlikely that it is your internet connection. Be careful playing with the firewall rules if you don't understand exactly what each one is doing and what the associated ports are assigned to. Otherwise you are likely to open your router, and possibly your network, to every hacker who happens to drop by.

If you have uTorrent, then to remove the tracker, open the app and select the not working tracker.
Right-click on it and then click on the Remove Tracker option. Follow the same step to remove all the non-working trackers. When the port does not work correctly, you can run the tests and adjust the necessary settings. For that, open the app and go to Options. Few options would display; out of them, click on Setup Guide.

There you will find the Maximum Download Rate Limiting option , change the speed that suits your connection speed.
The following way to fix the torrent download issue is by changing the incoming port setting. You can find the option in the preferences box. Again, on the left vertical menu, you can find the Connection option. Click on it.
In front of the Random Port option, you can find the number value, increase or decrease it by one. It helps you to know whether the issue is with the network or not. It allows you to connect to the seeders promptly. Then click on the Ok option to save the changes. If all the above methods fail to resolve the issue with your download, then chances are of dead torrent or the file may not be working at all.
