Using Torrent is one of the most popular ways to share files online. You can find almost any game on torrent sites. The process of installing games downloaded via torrent is a bit more complicated than installing purchased games, because you need to crack the game's anti-copy feature. You should take a close look at the README file that came with the torrent file.

Steps

Part 1 of 2: Download Torrent

1. 

   Download and install BitTorrent. This program allows you to download torrent files, which are a form of peer-to-peer file sharing. Torrent files are usually very small, but are linked to larger files on the hard drive that you want to share with others. Some of the most popular torrent software include:
   • uTorrent
   • BitTorrent
   • Vuze

2. 

   
   
   Search for the game torrent file you want to download. There are many online torrent sites that you can search for, but we cannot list them here. Make sure that the torrent site gets a positive review, as this increases your chances of successfully downloading the playable version without getting a virus.
   • Try to find torrents with lots of "seeders".These are the people who are sharing files, and the more people you connect to, the faster the download will be (up to your highest connection speed).

3. 

   
   
   Download and open torrent files with software. Torrent files are very small, usually will download in a matter of seconds. This is because the torrent file does not contain any game data. Instead, it allows you to connect directly with other users to download multiple game parts and then reassemble them after the download is complete.
   • Most torrent software are set up to open .torrent files automatically. If the file is not open in your torrent client, you will need to select the newly installed software from the list of software.
   • Torrent downloads can only be considered legal if you already own the game.

   Wait for the download to complete. It may take a while, especially if the game is very large or doesn't have a lot of seeders. Click here to see how to speed up torrent. advertisement

Part 2 of 2: Game installation

1. 

   Download and install the extractor (if needed). Many downloaded torrents are in RAR format (extension.rar). This is a compressed file that requires special software to extract it. The most popular free software to open this file is 7-Zip.

2. 

   Determine what the game file format is. There are two popular formats of downloaded games: EXE or ISO. If it is in EXE format, you can run the setup file and everything will be installed from the installer. ISO is the image file of a disc that needs to be burned or mounted on a computer using a virtual drive.

3. 

   See the file "readme. Most torrent games come with text files with detailed installation instructions. This is the thing very It's important to read because many games require a lot of work to be done in sequence for a successful installation. You should follow the instructions in the README file in addition to reading this article.

4. 

   Run the installer. This step will differ significantly from game to game, but usually you need to run the EXE file or mount / burn the ISO file and run the installer from a disc. Usually you can run the installer the same way you bought the game, but remember to follow the instructions in the README file.

5. 

   Run crack software. Most games that you download are anti-piracy in some way. To continue, you need to enter the CD-key or run the crack software. Most torrents contain this software with their installation files, but the process will vary from game to game. Again, you need to read the README file carefully.
   • Some games require you to replace the EXE file with the crack version in the installed game folder. You will run this replacement EXE file every time you want to play a game.
   • For some games, you must run code generation software to get the CD-key.
   • Some other games require running some EXE file to unlock the game.
   • Rarely do you have to edit a custom file to play the game. You will find instructions in the README file.

6. 

   Gaming. Use all the solutions in the README file to start playing the game. You may have to run a game customization program the first time you set the graphics preferences. advertisement
