Congratulation! you have succesfully destroyed your computer.

HUAHUAHAUHUAHUA

</imagination>

Okay, back to topic.

So the file that you cant open nor extract called torrent file.Torrent file is NOT the original file, bit it just a small file whose contains information where youll get the original one.

How to get original file?

First you need to download the torrent client program, for example, the popular BitTorrent or μTorrent (on this tutorial i will use BitTorrent).But over time, there is already a browser that support for torrent files! For example, Opera. So for those of you who use Opera, you dont need to download the torrent client program! If you use this  browser, you can directly download the original file.

Then  you open the .torrent file into your torrent software. Usually, this is as simple as a a double-click on the .torrent file icon, and the client software auto-launches. In other cases, this software will even open the torrent file for you.

The torrent client software will now talk to a tracker server for 2 to 10 minutes, while it scours the Internet for people to swarm with. Specifically, the client and tracker server will search for other users who have the same exact .torrent file as you.

As the tracker locates torrent users to swarm with, each user will be automatically labeled as either a “leech/peer” or as a “seed” (users who have only part of the target file, versus users who have the complete target file). As you might guess, the more seeds you connect to, the faster your download will be. Commonly, 10 peers/leeches and 3 seeders is a good swarm for downloading a single song/movie.

The client software then begins the transfer. As the name “sharing” implies, every transfer will happen in both directions, “down” and “up” (leech and share).
*SPEED EXPECTATION: Cable and DSL modem users can expect an average of 25 megabytes per hour, sometimes slower if the swarm is small with less than 2 seeders. On a good day with a big swarm, however, you can download a 5MB song within 3 minutes, and a 900MB movie within 60 minutes.

Once the transfer is complete, leave your torrent client software running for at least two hours. This is called "seeding" or "good karma", where you share your complete files to other users.
Suggestion: do your downloads just before you go to sleep at night. This way, you will seed your complete files, you will increase your upload/download ratio, and you will have complete downloaded files by the time you wake up!

Enjoy your movies and songs!
