3. Download the Torrent Files
Once on the torrent website, search for the file you want to download. Let’s say you want to download a Linux distribution; type it into the site’s search bar.

Your torrent file should download, looking something like this:
Afterward, open your torrent client and load the downloaded torrent file to begin the download.
4. Download Torrents Using Magnet Links
Magnet links are an even easier way to download torrent files. Instead of downloading a separate .torrent file, magnet links open the torrent directly in your client.
To use a magnet link:
1. Visit the torrent page.
2. Click on the Magnet Link option.
3. A pop-up will appear. Click OK, and the torrent will automatically load in your client and start downloading.
By following these simple steps, you can easily download torrent files using either traditional torrent downloads or magnet links. Make sure to use a VPN to protect your privacy while browsing and downloading from torrent sites. Learn More
