For example, if you’re searching for a book, you’d type in its title.

Seeders - The number in the “SEED” column on the right side of the page should ideally be higher (or roughly equal to) the number in the “LEECH” column. File details - Make sure the file name, category, and any other information in the title matches exactly what you’re looking for. Quality (video only) - Look for at least “720p” in the title (“1080p” is ideal). Anything lower will have poor quality.

Comments - The user feedback here will give you an idea of how safe the torrent is. Rating - You’ll notice a yellow thumbs-up and a red thumbs-down in the top-right area of the torrent’s page. If you see a large number below the thumbs-down icon, the torrent may be broken or unsafe.

The torrent’s download should only take a few seconds.

Once the torrent is finished downloading, you’ll be able to find it in the default “Downloads” folder, such as your desktop. If you want to search for your downloaded file, type its name into Spotlight (Mac) or Start (Windows) and then click the pertinent file.
