10 Popular and Active Torrent Download Sites

Many people increasingly favor the BitTorrent data exchange system since the Internet speed is getting faster. Torrent was chosen because its peer-to-peer data exchange system is considered stable when someone downloads a file. In a peer-to-peer system, someone who joins the network will act as a downloader and uploader.

The more people who download a file, the faster and more stable the data transfer will be. While the server computer only provides the initial file to be distributed to the client computer. The client computer will then distribute the file as a seeder (download and upload the downloaded file to another computer).

Downloading files using this torrent has actually been around since 2001. However, it has only been popular in Indonesia for the past 10 years. Various types of files are shared for free via torrent download sites. Starting from pictures, videos, music, documents, applications, and games.

The emergence of BitTorrent technology, on the one hand, makes access to information or content more open. However, not a few of the content that is shared is copyrighted. Thus, the act of distributing and disseminating is very prone to result in violations. That's why many torrent download sites often change their addresses after getting blocked in various countries.
