how to use bittorrent
 

how can i download and install bittorrent/mue torrent or any torrent for centos6.4....
will you please give me step by step process to install this file

You can use 'transmission' to download torrents. At the first place add rpmforge repository. you can follow this link 'http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge'

Once done get root preveledges on command terminal and run the following command
'yum install transmission'

you are done.

BitTorrent is for Windows and Mac only.

Instead you can install deluge. Latest version is 1.3.6, that can be installed by compiling source code. install/uninstall guide is nicely documented and works perfectly fine.

Guide to install

But if you want hassle-free (yum) install, then you can install it from LinuxTech repo, which has version 1.3.5.
deluge-1.3.5-1.el6.noarch.rpm (see 'Install Howto' section)

Bit misleading IMO.

Bitorrent can be eitehr the protocol or software. There are no problems using the bittorrent protocol with linux.

Bittorrent software is (currently) a rebranded version of µTorrent. While you cant get that running on linux (well, not without WINE), you can get µTorrent.....but I'd use one of the open soruce linux native torrent clients over µTorrent.

Transmission ftw!

I use the program ktorrent to download torrents in Debian stable; it has worked very well for me. It has a simple interface and seems to be reliable. I had never used torrents before, and learned how to use them with ktorrent. I have begun to stop using the Kde desktop since then, and begun using Mate instead; i still use ktorrent though.
#To download (step by step):
Go to website offering torrent file to download, such as piratebay
Find desired file hosted through torrent.
click the download link, and a pop-up will come up asking if you want to download or open the link with an application.
Select open with ktorrent
ktorrent will open and a mini ktorrent popup will open, displaying all the possible files downloadable from the torrent, eg: each episode of a season of foo tv show. (you can select which episodes you want if you don't want them all).
tick the content you want ktorrent to download and it'll proceed to download if other generous people are seeding.
Once you've finished downloading your files, don't forget to continue to keep seeding until you've shared at least 1.00 of the file.

The last step is optional, but doing it is continuing the spirit of torrents. I don't do it with all torrents i download, but try to do it with most.
I recently downloaded Debian 7 dvd through torrent for example. There are lots of faster seeders than me, and i only get 7 gb a month, so i did not seed for that.

I am still pretty new to torrents and have a lot to learn. There is a lot of jargon within the torrent community, such as 'seeding', 'leechers', ect, and to make it more confusing, some people have confusion about some of the terms and use them incorrectly. If you desire to know what something means, i recommend looking up the word in a search engine.

I've tried my best to help you out with my limited knowledge and experience, but your question is quite vague, so i hope i've helped.
Good luck.

It's actually pretty simple.
A .torrent file includes information about fileyouwant and the tracker tells you _who_ has the fileyouwant.
People who have the full 100% completed file are called seeders.
People you download from (who can be seeders but also users with less than 100% of the file) are peers.
People who download but doesn't upload (or doesn't meet a specific up/down ration) are leechers.
A .magnet file is a torrent file for torrent file (just removes the step one further between tracker and torrenters for legal issues).

By protocol you download and upload simultaneously. When your file is finished downloading, you are seeding it until the torrent file is closed or deleted.

There is a bittorrent client (at least in my repos) called bittorrent-downloader.bittorrent, bittorrent-multi-downloader.bittorrent which are cli utils, and bittorent-gui which is a x windows thing. Don't use bittorent-gui it sucks, only use the others if you don't have X.

Magnets are not really files there strings that represent where torrent information can be grabbed from. This means that you no longer get the torrent descriptor (.torrent file) from a site so they are no longer telling you how to download a file. Instead they host a link (simmiler to an http: link) that points to instructions of how to download the file, as well as a hash to confirm the files are the write file a link can be made up like this:

For full details check out the wikipedia page magnet links are pretty intresting, but you don't need to understand them to use them or bittorent. Magnet links are rarely used for legitmate content and are preferd for the the legal protections afforded to pirates (I'm assuming you are not planning to download anything you should not ;)).

As for which client to use my vote is Transmission, it's simple and reletively light, it lack some function but will do 90% of what you could ever want to do and does not cram 500 useless options at you. Transmission also has a cool web interface alowing you to monitor, and manage you downloads from anywhere with a net connection and a web client (although ssh can be used to control most stuff).

Me too. It also has an encryption mode. So, ISPs don't throttle your connection if they see bittorent traffic

Not sure if it is enabled by default.

Thank you for specifying! :)
I was trying to keep it at a simple level, e.g. where .torrents tells you where files are, .magnets tells you where .torrents are:)
As far as I can tell though, .magnets are practically legal and not technical solutions.
