Torrent file

A torrent file is a small file that contains metadata used for peer-to-peer file sharing over the internet. It doesn't contain the actual content but rather information about where to find it, such as file names, sizes, and where to download pieces of that content from other users (peers). When you open a torrent file with a torrent client, it connects you to others who have or are downloading the same content, allowing you to share and download files efficiently. This method spreads the bandwidth load across many users, making downloads faster and reducing the burden on a single server.
