BitTorrent Download Guide

Find and download a torrent file

1. Open Internet Explorer and go to the “The Pirate Bay” website. Type in the name of the item you are looking for and
select the type of file. (Ensure only one file type is selected.) Click the “Pirate Search” button. (The movie “Shooter” has
been used as an example.)

2. When the results of your search are shown click on “SE” in the header. This will sort your search results by number of
seeders currently supporting the download. More seeders means a faster download and presumably better quality.

the name to get the best quality.) Click on the file name to open the torrent download page.

4. When the torrent is finished downloading, the BitTorrent program will automatically begin “Seeding” the file so other
people may download the file from you. You must stop the file seeding before you can access the file for your use.

program screen. This will prevent the BitTorrent program from seeding this file the next time the program is opened.

Done! You may now go to the folder containing your completed torrent downloads and enjoy your new download.
