Answer 2

a torrent file is a compressed file that can be downloaded from multiple sites concurrently so to decrease the total time it takes to download. the initial file sets up the download and helps broadcast to other pc's that you are looking for the file. you need to have a downloader like azureus or bittorrent to control the download.

Answer 3

Torrent file is not the movie. It just contains information who is sharing the movie for you to download(actually it is more complicated, but you dont need to know more at this point).

You need to install this program:
http://www.utorrent.com/

then open the torrent file with utorrent and your download will begin(the torrent file you downloaded will tell utorrent from where to download the actual movie).

Answer 4

actually people uploading videos in torrent websites uses various types of video extension and video codec. so that you can play most of the video you get in torrent, i suggest you download VLC player. it's free!!

Answer 5

well you are in misconception about this "torrent" file. it just have
information of file sharing.you better download bittorrent & know more about it.
