| 874176 | 2010-04-08 04:01:00 | I am downloading a torrent download. But what is the difference between Torrent and normal downloads? Thanks for you help :help: | AZ1 (15478) | ||
| 874177 | 2010-04-08 04:04:00 | There's probably more people with the same file (when you use torrents), than when you download a normal file. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 874178 | 2010-04-08 04:07:00 | You are probably asking for the difference between torrents and "http" downloads. In a torrent you are connected to a swarm where other users also have or are downloading the file as you and they share the file with you, this is called P2P. An "http" download is a download from a "single" server. | narutophantom (12610) | ||

| 874181 | 2010-04-08 04:12:00 | Well the file is smaller, (because thats NOT all of the file). Thats why you have peers and seeders. So, it speeds things up | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
