Explain it as if to a small child. Or maybe to a quinquagenarian who is not very comfortable with the scary thing that is the internet.

You download an application that downloads your torrents, I use bittorent myself.

You search for torrents, I use piratebay, but there are others.

You either download a torrent and then open it with the application, or you click on the magnet icon (on piratebay) and it downloads it for you.

There's also Vuze for the actual downloading application and I personally use KickassTorrents (kat.ph). I miss demonoid.

I recommend Vuze. It incorporates a search engine that goes through most of the major torrent sites automatically, so you can just open it, type in a title, get a list of torrents, click "Download" on one, and then in a few minutes you've got a nice playable file to keep.

Are you me?

Do you mind if I tag on here and ask what people use for streaming, instead of torrenting, shows?

What kinds of things are you looking for?

There's loads of streaming sires, but the better ones are usually dedicated to certain topic or subject matter.

Mostly network TV shows that I haven't kept up with. Oh, and also True Blood. For network shows, I'm interested in Grimm and Arrow.

Both are available on Hulu if you're in the US.

Hulu only does like 5 past episodes. That's my issue - I haven't kept up, so I need more episodes.

Ah, gotcha. I parsed "haven't kept up" as having only missed a few.

This is what I use for TV shows.

Can you explain how to use it in very simple terms? I'm getting a ton of pop-ups and can't figure out which buttons to click. Sorry, I'm bad at this. :/

Download Adblocker. This will help you on every website ever (seriously, it is the best addon ever).
Firefox Link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
Google Chrome Link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom?hl=en

Once you do that, 99% of the ads should go away. So, click a TV show, then click an episode (hit [Watch] under Full Stream).

Then hit [Click and Watch Video]. Then just hit Continue to Video or the Play sign. It differs based on who is hosting the vid.

Thank you!

I use delishows for tv and vodly for movies.

Thanks for these suggestions! I'll give them a try.

I use utorrents myself, bittorent slowed down my computer. So yeah, download application, find website to download torrent, click download torrent, wait patiently. Also seconding Kickass torrents, and I use torrents.fm when I can't find my stuff there.

This. utorrents and kickass.

+1 and +1. Navigating kickass is super-easy.

You get a program (I use utorrent) and sites like piratebay, kickasstorrents, have torrent files that you can download stuff from. It's the best way to get files like movies, TV shows, etc. because you get files shared from other people so the more people downloading it/have it, the faster you can download whatever it is.
I use kickasstorrents for regular stuff and nyaa.eu for anime.

It's multiple peer to peer data it's like everybody who has a puzzle completed or even pieces you don't have yet copies their pieces and gives them to you to put together your own puzzle (file). You'll be sharing at the same time. If there's lots of people with complete puzzles (seeders) then your file can download very, very fast.

imagine you're trying to bake a cake

the torrent file itself (file_name.torrent) is the recipe, and the ingredients are parts of the file donated by other people who have the full file

so someone will give you the eggs, another user will give you flour, another user will give you sugar. they are all giving you the components of one recipe at the same time, making the file download faster since several users are contributing at once.

as your cake is downloading, you are also sharing with people who have even fewer ingredients than you, by providing them eggs, sugar, etc. when your file completes, you will be sharing all of your ingredients with others. the more users providing ingredients, the faster the file downloads.

you will need a torrent program (vuze, utorrent, bittorrent) and a torrent file for whatever you're looking to download (the file that ends in .torrent). when you're finding your torrent, it might list the number of seeds (people who have the full file) and peers (people who are currently downloading), you'll want to find the .torrent file with the most seeds, since that will make things go faster. unfortunately if you're looking for something rare or outdated, you might come upon multiple torrents with 0 seeds, which might leave you out of luck unless someone new comes online.

from there it's just opening the .torrent file in the program and downloading.

I install utorrent.

I google the movie/whatever I want with "torrent" tacked on the end (or search the title at piratebay.se)

I open the torrent file and tell it to open in utorrent if it doesn't automatically.

I wait a few hours/days until it's done.

Then I grab myself a treat, cozy up with a blanket and dog and watch my thing.
