When downloading files the BitTorrent protocol achieves much lower cost, much higher redundancy, and much greater resistance to abuse or to “flash crowds” than a regular HTTP server. Pirate Torrents are the small files downloaded from a website that contain information about a larger file or group of files which you may wish to download. Pirate Torrents is currently the most popular source for finding torrents. Opening torrents in a BitTorrent client will begin the process of P2P (peer to peer) file sharing.

Each peer on the network – a computer that has available the whole or parts of the file for sharing – connects to every other (this network is called a swarm) and shares the parts of the file that has. A peer does not need all of the parts of a file in order for it to be shared.

More peers in a swarm looking for the same pirate torrents means more active connections between the peers which, in turn, means the files in the pirate torrents are downloaded more quickly.
