The real name of Torrent is BitTorrent. BitTorent is a communication protocol for peer to peer file sharing. It enables users to distribute data and electronic files over the internet in a decentralized manner. BitTorent was created for transfering large size files peer-to-peer. But it's now mainly used for downloading pirated files. It was released in 2001 by the Rainberry .inc.
How does BitTorent works?
There is a lot of problems while downloading a file from the central server. To solve this problem BitTorent was created. The purpose of BitTorent is to decentralize our device and
make a server in our device. If there is any file in our PC our PC will become a server. Any other person can then download that file from our server. Then his device will become another server. From these server many other person can also download that file. Torrent is downloaded by piece to piece from the device of one to another. If anyone wants to share a torrent, they have to generate .torrent file. If he share and anyone opens his file via any torrent client he will be connected with the sharer's ip and the file will be downloaded piece by piece in his device. At that time, if the third person does the same thing the downloaded pieces in the second person's device will be uploaded into his device. That's how the peer-to-peer network works. The person who shares torrent is called seeder and the person who downloads is called leecher/peer. If you don't remove your file from the torrent client history you will be a seeder. Some of the best torrent clients are qBitTorrent, Vuze, uTorrent, BitTorent etc. But it is like a taboo to us. Many of us thing it's bad. But BitTorrent has a good purpose. It's a revolutionary technology that helps us to download files without problems. But many people are using it for illegal purpose.
