The BitTorrent protocol isn't just for pirates, it's also a great way to legally download indie documentaries, music, and open source software such as Linux distributions or the Tor Browser.

The problem with torrents is that you may across something you'd like to download while browsing on your smartphone or tablet. But how are you going to remember to download that torrent once you're back at your PC?

Remote apps for Android to the rescue. Many major torrent clients offer remote apps on mobile that let you add downloads to an active PC while you're in the other room or sitting in the back of a taxi downtown.

• Tap the torrent that you want to download. Select your torrent app from the list of apps that appear. When selecting a torrent, make sure that you read the comments to ensure that there are no viruses attached to it. Try to download torrents with lots of Seeders.
• Fastest Way To Download Torrent Files Without Using Torrent Client One best way to download torrent files fast is to convert torrent into direct link and download them using Internet Download Manager (IDM), the unbeatably fastest, lightweight and easy to use download manager on earth. IDM basically doubles or even triples your normal download speed.

For our purposes today, I'm going to show you how to use BitTorrent Remote from BitTorrent Inc., but you would follow a similar path for other clients including uTorrent (also owned by BitTorrent) and Vuze.

Getting started

I am sure it is illegal to download movies or any other things on torrents if they do exist these days. People please wake up a lot of money goes on to make a.

The first thing we need to do is get your PC ready to accept a remote connection. Download and open the BitTorrent client on your desktop and navigate to Options > Preferences. Then in the window that opens click on Remote in the left-hand navigation panel.

Check the box that says Enable BitTorrent Remote Access. Next, give your computer a name and password and then click Apply. If the app asks you to set a Security Question do so. Otherwise click OK and you're done.

Getting Mobile

Install the BitTorrent Remote app from Google Play. Once it's installed, launch the app and sign-in with the same credentials you used on your PC in the previous step.

After a few minutes, the two devices should be connected and you're ready to go.

If you don't have an Android device, you can still login to view and add torrents from your phone by visiting remote.BitTorrent.com and logging in with your credentials.

Finding torrents

Now that you've got your remote up and running it really isn't much good if you don't add new torrents while on the go.

If you like to play around with Linux, you can download any number of distributions with torrents including the Snowden-approved, privacy-centric Tails.

For entertainment content, you can find what are called bundles on BitTorrent's site. Bundles are usually promotional content for a new album, documentary, or other artistic project.

Despite being a haven for downloading movies and TV shows, The Pirate Bay also features non-infringing content from time to time. Typically, new non-infringing content on TPB is promoted on the site's homepage. Check-in with the site every now and then to see what it offers.

Vuze, another torrent client, has a wiki page listing many sites where you can find non-infringing torrents.

Adding a torrent file on Android

Once you've found a torrent you want to send back to your PC, all you have to do is copy the torrent link and add it to the remote app. If your PC is on, connected to the Internet, and the BitTorrent client is active then the torrent will start downloading in a few minutes. If your PC is not on, you'll get an error message.

Let's say you wanted to watch One Mile Away, a documentary available for free on Vodo.net. Visit the film's Vodo page and click Watch Now, then click the Download .torrent button.

This will trigger a torrent file download to your phone, but in my experience these files don't open in BitTorrent Remote for Android very well.

Instead what you want to do is after you've pressed the download button, look for a link on the page that says 'click here.' Long press that link and then choose Copy link address.

Now, open up BitTorrent remote, login in if it asks you to, and then press the menu item icon (three vertical lines) in the bottom right of the screen. From the menu that appears select Add, paste the link you copied, press Add again and the torrent will be sent to your PC.

Most of the time you won't have to jump through hoops like that to get the right torrent link. Vodo is a special case that is worth reviewing since it can help you troubleshoot adding torrents via URL with other sites.

Now that you've added your torrent, sit back and wait for the file to finish downloading on your PC.
