What is Torrent?
I was reading about how someone was looking for Chappelle Show clips in the requests section and someone suggested Supernova.org, so I looked too. It's a "Torrent" page...and I was wondering how it works and what is it? When I clicked on TV Shows and Chappelle Show, nothing happened. I assume I'm missing software or something?
Thanks in advance...

You have to download a program ex. BitTorrent at http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html...
Then just open the file with a *.torrent extension or click the link one more time, and the download should start

So, this is a special downloading program? Do I need a special player to play it, once it's Dloaded?
Thanks for the help.

this is my concept of torrent....it is basically a peer - to - peer internet downloading.......same like kazaa or any other P2P file sharing programs......it maybe slower than direct download but it worth the wait...
