How TO Download Torrent Files Within Any Browser:- Hello guys, Hope you all doing well. Most of us uses torrents to download movies, games and many other files. Torrents are one of the most popular forms of file sharing on the internet, accounting for over 50% of all internet traffic. However it might [].

  1. If you are not very familiar with torrents then it is very easy to download them using Opera web browser. The.torrent files are configuration files that list a group of smaller files that need to be downloaded to create the larger file you are trying to obtain.
  2. Download TORRENT FILE with UCBROWSER hi user now you can download torrent file (under 1GB file size) with uc browser.with normal download seed. Note:- this trick will not work on www.

BitTorrent peer to peer file sharing is still going strong after all these years. This is even after attempts by several countries to ban tracker sites like The Pirate Bay and others at the ISP level. Even though torrents are mostly associated with downloading pirated and copyright infringing files, there are still many legitimate uses that rely on the same peer to peer (P2P) distribution method.

Lots of free software is offered for download over torrent P2P, such as Linux ISOs. In the past game developers have also used it to distribute game patches and updates. You can even download drivers for utilities like Snappy Driver Installer using P2P. Sadly a number of organizations can block the use of torrent software as it is a huge drain on the network because it connects to many other computers at the same time.

Even your ISP could throttle torrents and slow them to a crawl of only a few KB/s for the same reason. To get around the restriction on using dedicated torrent clients or ISP imposed speed throttling, there are a few things you can try to still be able to use torrents. Here we have 5 methods for you to look at.

1. Download Torrents With a Torrent Client Browser Extension

One of the most popular ways to download torrents through your browser used to be the Java based Bitlet tool. Sadly it’s no longer available. An alternative is using a browser extension available for either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Although there are not that many torrent client extensions around, there is at least one for Firefox and two for Chrome that should do the job.

Torrent Tornado for Firefox

Torrent Tornado is a very competent extension that has enough functions for most average users. For getting the torrent into the browser Torrent Tornado accepts .torrent files, magnet links, HTTP URLs, FTP URLs or torrent hashes. Just press the Add new torrent button to start the process.

After adding the source for the torrent, it will show the details for the download and then offer the choice of which files to download from within the torrent. The small Settings button at the top left controls options such as save folder, file associations, memory cache, maximum peers and download speeds.

Download Torrent Tornado For Firefox

JSTorrent Lite For Chrome

The Lite version of this app extension is a cut down version of the paid app so it’s more feature limited than it would otherwise be. The biggest restriction is you are limited to 20 downloads before the app stops you downloading. An easy way around this is simply uninstalling and reinstalling the extension to get yourself another 20.

JSTorrent Lite accepts both magnet links and local/remote .torrent files. There’s also the option to stream video files while downloading. Select the video file, click the Files tab and press Stream to open the player window. Adjusting the number of peers or active torrents can be controlled via the Settings window but setting speed limits is not available in this free version.

Download JSTorrent Lite For Chrome

Bitford For Chrome

If your torrenting needs are quite basic but you want speed controls which JS Torrent Lite doesn’t offer, Bitford is worth a try.

It doesn’t accept magnet links only local .torrent files, so it’s more tricky after visiting sites like The Pirate Bay. Control the upload and download speed via the two boxes at the bottom. Press the Save button to save individual files to your drive or Remove to cancel the download.

Download Bitford for Chrome

2. Download Torrents With an Online Torrent Client

This method has a few advantages. It bypasses P2P traffic shaping from an ISP because the torrent files are downloaded in the browser just like any other file. It also keeps you safe from anti-P2P organizations monitoring copyright infringing torrents. The drawback is most of the available free services are quite limited unless you pay for a subscription.

We are looking at Seedr because it’s one of the more generous free services. Currently, Seedr doesn’t restrict the speed at which you can download the completed files from their servers. The default limit is 2GB which is both the overall storage limit and the maximum size of the torrent file you can download. This can be increased to over 6GB by accomplishing tasks such as inviting friends, posting a review or pinning a Seedr image on your Pinterest.

Seedr accepts local torrent files, magnet links or a URL of a remote torrent file. You can only transfer one torrent at a time to the Seedr servers but can download multiple completed torrents from Seedr. We found the download speed very good and all our files downloaded at the maximum speed. There’s also a Seedr Chrome extension for directly adding links.

If you find the limit at Seedr is not quite enough, there are other services like Torrent Safe or Direct Torrents that offer a 10GB file limit for free. They restrict you to only 3 downloads per month so are for occasional use only (changing your IP address might get you another 3). Other popular names like Filestream, Bitport and especially ZBigZ are too restrictive to be of any great use in our view.

Visit Seedr

3. Use a Browser With Built in Torrent Client

Over the years we’ve seen a few web browsers incorporate a torrent client into the browser itself. The most notable being Opera although it removed this ability when switching to the Chromium browsing engine in 2012. You can still download Opera 12.18 and use the torrent client, but it’s better to use a more up to date solution.

A more up to date browser that includes a built in torrent client is Torch Browser. There is another called Citrio but it appears to be based on an outdated version of Chromium. In addition to the integrated torrent client, Torch also includes a download accelerator, social sharing button, games portal, music portal, media player, and a media grabber that downloads on page audio and video.

After install simply press the slider then the green button in the Torch toolbar to turn on torrenting and open the torrent client window. It’s possible to just drop a torrent file onto the window or you can open the Add Torrent dialog to search for a file or paste a magnet link into the box. Choose the save to location and which files inside the torrent to download, then press OK to start the download.

The torrent Settings window allows for adjustment of a number of options commonly found in torrent clients. These include randomize or change the listening port, use DHT/PEX/LPD, adjust the number of connections and active torrents, speed limits, seeding limits and video streaming playback options. You’ll want to right click and remove the Torch Offers extension as it’s simply advertising.

Download Torch Browser

4. Using a File Download Manager

While you might not be able to install or run a dedicated torrent client, it may be possible to run a standard file download manager. There are many around that handle normal file downloads but a few free managers are also able to download torrents. Flashget and Free Download manager are two that can handle torrents. We’ll look at Free Download Manager (FDM) as it’s actively supported and kept more up to date.

During install, FDM will offer to associate itself with .torrent files and magnet links. It’s best to leave the setting as is to make things easier. When the program launches you can simply drop a .torrent file onto the window to start a download. Alternatively, press the menu button top right to manually search for a torrent file or press the add button to paste in a remote torrent or magnet URL.

To control speeds, Free Download Manager has Low, Medium or High speed limit modes and a Snail Mode which will concede bandwidth to other traffic. Traffic limit speeds, connections and a few torrent specific options like DHT, used ports and port forwarding can be controlled via the Settings window. Right click on the torrent download to set its own priority, whether to seed, setup scheduling and to force a recheck/reannounce.

Download Free Download Manager

5. Multi Host Torrent Converter

It’s worth noting first that a multi host file download service is not free and costs from around €4 Euros for a month depending who you go with. A multi host download service is mainly for heavy downloaders using cyberlocker sites like Rapidgator or Uploaded etc. Some also include other download services like Usenet or BitTorrrent. If you want to get large torrents that free services like Seedr can’t handle, this may be your cheapest paid option.

The one we use is AllDebrid although there are other debrid services like RealDebrid that can handle torrents. Alternatively, you can go for a bandwidth based service such as Premium.to. AllDebrid works similar to the free online clients but instead of downloading the finished files from their servers, the files are uploaded to another cyberlocker site. In this case, UptoBox.com. Then you paste the UptoBox links into the AllDebrid downloader to download like any other files.

Visit the Torrent Converter page and either paste a Magnet link or click the “Torrent File” box to upload a .torrent from your computer. Then click the convert button and do something else while waiting for it to finish. When the process is complete, click on Display Links and then the pointing arrow to send the links directly to the Downloader box. The limits are a generous 250GB torrent size. 30 simultaneous downloads and a 72 hour time limit for the torrent to finish. Large torrents can be split into 1GB chunks for easier management.

Then your requirements are far lower than most other torrent users. ZBigZ has a 1GB limit and a max download speed of 150KB/s, Bitport has 1GB and a limit of 1 torrent per day. For any self-respecting torrenter, those limits are far too small to be of any real use. How do you call those limits “not restrictive in any way”???

Warning about Bitlet: While it may be true that “you don’t need to download or install any BitTorrent client” you DO have to download and install what appears to be Bitlet’s “parent” or owner, i.e., GitHub. I don’t like finding out AFTER I get to a site to download something I’ve just been told about on another site and finding out I HAVE to download another app to get the one I came for. But because the article above made Bitlet sound so enticing I went ahead. Could not go through with it though as my gut kept telling me “no.” So as soon as I had GitHub installed I pulled up my Iobit Uninstaller to remove it. IU uses the app’s own uninstaller first, then runs a scan for any leftover files. GitHub had 6179 leftover files that took 12 minutes to delete.

I would love to try Bitlet, but not at the cost of inviting what appears to be another Google-sized intruder into my computer. Just FYI.

Reply
HAL9000 Author2 years ago

The Bitlet project is pretty much dead and the website to download torrents has gone, now it redirects to the source code for the library at Github.

Github is a repository for open source projects and is not the owner of Bitlet so you didn’t have to download and install any extra software from there, it only hosts the source code which can be downloaded as a Zip file if anyone wanted to look at it.

Reply

GitHub is a completely legitimate application and is linked to software development and maybe millions of people use it, including myself. I don’t understand why BitLet makes you use it, but GitHub is completely safe.

Has anyone tried torrentsafe.com?

Reply

Seems like a great site, but it will screw you if you add a torrent that it cannot download (low seeders for example). Every torrent you add, even if you remove it because it isn’t going anywhere, or you find another source or torrent you like better will add to your 4 torrent a month limit (and I kind of feel like this is an intentional hook as long as the site has been up to try to force you into the desperate move of paying). If Im going to pay anyone, it would be seedr because at least if you stay within the 2.5 gig limit (you can easily increase it to for free), you get unlimited torrents from it, and I believe in rewarding more honorable policies.

Offcloud will be useless for most people because unless you pay, the free account only allows 3 downloads per month. The only reason it might come in useful is it has a 10GB storage limit so can get bigger torrent files. A useful complement to other services but definitely not a first choice.

Hi Raymond,

Always GREAT! Thanks!

I was getting myself setup to download torrents without using a client by using BitLet. When I went back to get my Mass Storage Drivers Pack’s torrent link, my click was intercepted by my “Free Download Manager”, and I was very surprised to be reminded that this program also handles torrents. So where I expected to download only the torrent link, FDM automatically downloaded the actual driverpacks! FDM is true to its name,, it is FREE, and they also have a portable version too.

2) Log in
3) Search for Torrent files or Magnet Links. For this, we recommend you thepiratebay.se. It is the website with the larger data base for torrents, but if for some reason you couldn´t find it there, you may check the following sites: ExtraTorrent, FlixFlux, IsoHunt, Torrent Reactor, KickAssTorrents, Monova, Torrentz, TorrentZap, SeedPeer, ShareReactor, Vertor, YourBittorrent, YouTorrent.

4) Once you have done the research, click on the “SE” button, this will arrange it all by Seeders. The one with more seeds will mean higher download speed

5) Get into the Torrent to check its info. There are two download options: Magnet Links and Torrent Files. Note: We strongly recommend download through Magnet Links

6) Click on the Magnet Links icon

7) It will be automatically loaded in the “My Files” section, of ZAP Torrents.
(a) You will have to wait a few minutes till it´s done getting info.
(b) Then the download to our servers will begin.
(c) Once it´s completed, the file has to be compressed
From the moment a file finishes downloading and compressing to our servers, you have 7 days to complete the download to your PC. Then after that time, the file will be deleted.

8) The last step; choose how you wish to download it to your PC: Web Browser or Download Manager

Wow, Great site !! Loved the idea of it

BitTorrent, the P2P file sharing protocol, is still one of the most widely used ways of file sharing even after 16 years of its release and takedown of numerous torrent sites. It was developed by the American programmer Bram Cohen whose company now looks after the development. Read our detailed post to know more about how BitTorrent works.

The BitTorrent network allows users to source anything from music, movies, TV shows, software, audiobooks, etc. which are mostly in pirated form because there can be reasons why people indulge in piracy. But there are many websites hosting tons of legal torrents also.

You might very well know, to access the decentralized network and download torrent, a piece of software called a torrent client, or torrent downloader is required. Bram also created the first torrent client called BitTorrent which remained the best torrent software for years. But there are many other famous torrent downloaders which can add a lot of comfort to the life of members of the torrent community.

One great thing about torrent clients is most of them are available for free, so, it becomes easier for users to make a switch if they don’t like their existing BitTorrent client.

We have already told you in our earlier posts about some top torrent clients for macOS. Now, we have come up with some of the best torrent programs for Windows 10 and previous versions.

Before moving ahead, don’t forget to check out our 2018’s list of top 10 torrent sites.

Best Torrent Client For Windows – 2018

1. Web Torrent – Best torrent software for casual users

How To Download Torrents In Browser

Web Torrent is by far, the easiest torrent client I have used. It is great torrent client alternative for users who want to keep themselves away from confusing features. All you need to do is paste the torrent file or magnet URL in its main window, and voila, your torrent download starts without any further ado.

This open source torrent client is quite young when compared to veterans like BitTorrent. After coming into existence in 2017, WebTorrent quickly gained popularity for its ability to run inside a web browser without installing anything. But now, it’s also available as an app for Windows and other operating systems.

The WebTorrent Windows app provides a minimalistic interface for torrent download. It comes with a built-in player to watch movies and other video files as they download. It allows users to add external subtitles and stream video content to their Chromecast devices without any hassle.

Maybe it’s my personal experience, but torrent downloads have been slightly faster when using WebTorrent. Moreover, the ease of use offered by the software is that quality that encouraged us to include it on the top in our best torrent client list.

2. Tribler – a torrent program with an anonymity cover

You might want to get your hands on the torrent client called Tribler. More eagerly after knowing that it has a Tor-like onion network of its own which is intended to protect the anonymity of the users. This plus point certainly makes it a worthy choice when searching for the best torrent client.

To make users anonymous, Tribler cuts their direct link to the BitTorrent swarm by placing three daisy-chained proxy servers in between. However, this only works for peers or torrent downloaders. Proxy support for seeders is currently an experimental feature.

You can change the anonymity settings by visiting Settings > Anonymity. There you can also configure your PC to act a Tribler proxy.

The open source and free torrent software doesn’t look like any average torrent downloader you would find. In fact, it has the appearance of a media player software completed with a search bar to find torrents out-of-the-box.

How To Download Torrent Link In Uc Browser

Tribler comes with a built-in video player which is actually VLC running in the background to hook videos as you download torrents. Other features include bandwidth management, family filter, etc.

3. BitTorrent – most ancient of all torrent client

Being the first and one of the best torrent downloader software, BitTorrent still has a strong userbase. But torrent client in its current versions is no more than a violet-themed UI with uTorrent at its heart.

The powerful torrent client is loaded with tons of features which can be of great help to BitTorrent users from beginner to advanced level. It organizes torrent downloads in different categories and provides way more technical details than other BitTorrent alternatives such as WebTorrent. Users can find torrents using the inbuilt search box that opens a web browser.

Bittorrent’s Preferences windows open the doors to a variety of settings such as limiting bandwidth usage, download scheduler, putting a data cap, managing paired devices, running a program after the download completes, etc.

While free Bittorent offers all the necessary features required, users who are allergic to advertisements can go for BitTorrent Pro which comes with customer support. The Pro version also offers access to the built-in media player, AV protection, and the ability to stream torrents as they download. Doing the same without Pro isn’t a big deal as you can open the file directly using VLC. But incomplete file download may interrupt your viewing.

4. uTorrent – a very tiny BitTorrent alternative

uTorrent, also developed by BiTtorrent Inc., has been there on people’s machines since its release in 2005. But there is nothing much to say about uTorrent as most of its features were already told when describing BitTorrent.

There is almost no difference between the two torrent downloaders in terms of looks (except the logo and theme color) and features offered. However, the thing that sets the two apart is the uTorrent web app.

5. BitComet – torrenting program cum download manager

If you read our post on the best download managers for Windows, you might already be aware of BitComet. While it can download regular stuff, the software is primarily designed to act as a torrent downloader for Windows.

Other than basic torrent client features, there are a couple of things that BitComet touts as exclusive. Using a feature called long-term seeding, BitComet can fetch data (during torrent downloads) from other peers who have 100% of the torrent file. This facility helps when all the seeders go offline, and the torrent gets stuck.

It also boasts intelligent disk caching, where frequently accessed data is cached in the main memory and the hard drive is disturbed less often, preventing any performance impacts.

Users having BitComet account can share their torrents (not the files) with each other. It also supports the eDonkey network with the help of a plugin called eMule, but it isn’t activated by default.

6. Vuze – uTorrent alternative

Another open source software among the best torrent client is Vuze. With its first release in 2003, it isn’t much younger than BitTorrent or BitComet.

Vuze is a well-built torrent downloader that is feature packed, looks neat and tidy, but it is not as appealing to the eyes as Tribler or Web Torrent. But nevermind, it’s a BitTorrent client, not some fancy app.

It comes with built-in web and metasearch tools to keep users within the boundaries of the torrent software. It has it’s own network of the high-quality torrents from official sources. A feature called Swarm discoveries suggest torrents similar to the torrents you download.

Vuze allows users to chat with other Vuze users and share torrents. It can also convert and transfer files directly to different devices and stream content to other device connected to the same LAN. The torrent downloader also supports iTunes integration. Moreover, the support for plugins opens Vuze’s doors to a plethora of new features and capabilities.

The torrent downloader also burns download files directly to DVDs, but that requires users to buy Vuze Plus which removes ads and also adds other features including built-in AV scanning and playback while torrent downloading.

7. qBittorrent – a simple open source torrent downloader

qBittorrent was the first open source torrent client I heard. Maybe, one won’t call it the most advanced torrent software out there; it packs enough juice to get through your torrent sessions with ease. Of course, it’s a free software which is also free from advertisements and promotional pop-ups.

The Settings window in qBittorrent is the most sorted I have seen in any torrent client. Despite having so many options and customizations, chances are fewer that users would get confused due to their representation. Other than differentiating torrents with various status labels and tags, the torrent software also includes a search bar to find torrents from the list.

One interesting feature you might not notice during the initial use is the UI lock. You can activate it by clicking the yellow padlock in the top-right corner. You can set a UI lock password for qBittorrent which prevents others from using the torrent client after you enable the lock by.

8. Deluge – torrent client that works without a UI

Deluge is another open source torrent client that might look a little offbeat. It seems the world of the torrent downloader software is mostly filled with open source apps.

It’s a simple, lightweight torrent client that does its job of downloading torrents efficiently. But it can do wonders on Windows, and it extends its cross-platform presence by offering support for macOS and Linux. The list of salient Deluge features includes encryption, local peer discovery (LSD), setting global and per-torrent bandwidth limits, etc. The support for various first and third-party plugins can bring a more personalized experience for the users.

Other than the standard mode, Deluge also offers a Thinclient mode in which a Deluge daemon takes of the BitTorrent jobs even on headless machines like a server, and controlled via other computers over the network.

How To Protect Your Torrent Downloads?

You might be aware of the fact that torrent downloads over the BitTorrent network aren’t some secret that nobody can find out. Determined brains can easily track users on the network and know what they download. Hence, there a couple of ways which can be helpful for the users. Users can either take advantage of a proxy server. Almost every popular torrent program support proxy servers.

Download torrents using VPN

Putting your torrent downloader behind the protection of a VPN service can be a handy option. The traffic over a VPN connection goes through an encrypted tunnel. Thus, it prevents any middleman to decipher the content being downloaded. Here is our list of the top 10 VPN services for 2018 you can use to secure your torrent downloads.

Final Thoughts – The best torrent downloader

After having a look at various torrent clients, it can be easily concluded that every one of them targets a somewhat subset of the torrent community. So, users who don’t want jampacked ugly torrent downloaders can go for Web Torrent and Tribler. And for the ones preferring features over appearance, BitComet, Vuze, and uTorrent are good choices. Deluge and qBittorrent take the middle road by providing users a great torrenting experience but not confusing them with tons of features.
