what is torrent
is it something to do with posting your own illegally purloined smut for other people to download for free?

christ half the men in the uk would be going down.

It's a way of breaking up a big file
up into smaller pieces so you can download from hundreds of places at once and put it back together to make a copy of the other file.
Used to download any big file which online means videos/music/games mostly illegal.

but...
how would you know where to find the hundreds of places? or is there a particular website that links them all?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 29 Sep 2010, 11:49, Reply)

You download the "torrent" file which and then a program such as mutorrent or similar
links to anyone else running a torrent sharing programme who has that file available and downloads bits of it from them.

So I explain the same thing as Chompy and I get abuse and he gets an admission of your own stupidity?
WTF?

Yep, that's pretty much how it works.

he isn't worth abusing and you are? did you think of that, al, did you?

The torrent file basically points to everyone else who's using that torrent.
So what happens is you open a torrent file with a program like utorrent.
Then you find everyone else who's trying to download the same file. You start downloading some of the little pieces, from one of those people. Then when you've got at least one whole part of the file you can then upload that piece to someone else who needs it. The smart part is you can download and upload at the same time, and you can download from people even if they've only got some of the pieces.
In reality that all happens behind the scenes and you just click and watch a progress bar.

he's on the Internet
clearly he has never actually had sex.

this is why his fingering technique is akin to james herriott trying to birth a calf. and why he mistakes screams of agony for pleasure.

now now monty, lousy fingering technique is not a joking matter
it should never ever be approached like a 5 year old scrubbing out a mistake in a maths book. and when the girl grabs your arm-turned-torture instrument and drags it back out of the depths of her internal organs and says "darling, that's so nice but please do it like this"

she means "FOR FUCK'S SAKE STOP TRYING TO STAB ME TO DEATH VIA MY VAGINA, I HAVE TOTALLY LOST ALL INTEREST IN SEX UNTIL IT HEALS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH."

she does not mean "that's amazing keep going you'll find my spleen up there any second now."
