Most of the time, torrent files download just fine. Torrents, or more specifically the BitTorrent protocol, got traction around 2001, when Bram Cohen, dissatisfied with the average download speed online (since it was coming from a single source), designed a system that would download from everyone possessing the required file, thus making more popular files actually faster to download. A lot of open-source software, rare films, amateur music, and free books can only be downloaded using torrent-based tools. It’s easy with Folx, a YouTube and Torrent downloader.Īlthough not as popular as during their heyday in the early 2000s, torrents still play an important role in today’s digital ecosystem.
