To download a torrent file you either join a website that allows you to browse torrent files, or you can search google. For example, my girlfriend wants all 6 seasons of Sex and the City for Christmas. I am not about paying for something I can get for free. So I checked all my sites and a few had seasons 1-4 in a package deal, but not all of them. So I google searched “Sex and the City Season 5 and 6 torrent”. Sure enough its there to download, click the link, download the file, it opens in my torrent program and the files are downloaded to my hard drive. It’s easy as cake. ---

Easiest thing ever without joining up anywhere and having to deal with a good ratio is to just type what you want into google and add torrent at the end, typically it will bring up a legit site that has the torrent to download. ---

If you are scared of it then maybe you should think twice, or read a lot before you jump in. Really it isn’t too hard, unsafe, or dangerous though. ---

i can invite to demonoid as well. and it really isnt unsafe. (double negative wooo!) if you really are afraid of viruses download the files and scan them before you do anything. reading comments will help you out a lot with the quality or viruses and such. ---

Also, most viruses are contained in executable files (.exe). So watch out for programs that may hide viruses. As I said before demonoid does a great job eliminating and files that are reported as viruses. ---
