How to Access Torrent Files
Torrent files are a quick way to transfer files, folders and applications from one computer to another. To access the data contained in a torrent file, you must use a torrent program such as BitTorrent, uTorrent or Transmission. Once the torrent file is loaded into the torrent program, it will download from a user or users' computers to your computer. Once the files listed in the torrent have completely downloaded, you can open them on your computer like any other file.
