Many of us love movies, music, games, but it's all quite expensive. The cost is calculated in dollar terms, and, as you know, now is not the best time to purchase any product, the price of which is determined by the dollar. Good and not so good pirates come to our aid - the guardians of justice and free cinema. But the Earth is round, so these people have a lot of problems. It is them that we will try to solve today in order to say: "The treasured movie is completely free!". In this article, we will also explain why torrents do not work, the dangers of using them, and what to do if a torrent is blocked at the state level in your country. The article is recommended exclusively for novice users of the Windows operating system.
What is a torrent and a tracker
For starters, it's worth understanding how the world's pirate web called Torrent works. Everyone knows the name of this program, because there are so many fans of free software and films, but you don’t want to pay a lot of money to the publisher. With a similar train of thoughtthe people who created this program operated, because at first the Internet was absolutely free, so why should it be paid now?
So, the file itself is initially uploaded to the torrent by one person, after which a special file of the same name is created, with which you can download the contents - the torrent file. Many have seen that any downloaded file does not create a copy of itself on the computer, but is simply sent somewhere. So, this “somewhere” is all connected users to the torrent network.
Thanks to such a cunning technology, it is almost impossible to find the computer that uploaded the file, so the search for hackers on this network is sometimes unsuccessful. Now the question is what is a tracker.
As already mentioned, the contents of a torrent can be accessed through a file of the same name, but how can you transfer it to other users who are interested in this? Of course, through the site - this is the torrent tracker. It consists of several parts, including a server with a database where all torrent files are stored, through which ordinary users can download certain files.
The main problem is that the site can be blocked very easily, and this is quite a popular phenomenon in our country. Everyone remembers the most popular torrent tracker "Rutor" - it is no more, because it was blocked. The site can only be accessed via VPN.
So we figured out why torrent trackers don't work. In the next paragraph, we talked about the main reasons for blocking, afterthen we will tell you how to bypass the lock.
Reasons why the torrent tracker does not work
Many antivirus manufacturers have a negative attitude towards torrents, so the name of a torrent file is often sewn into the database of any such program, or when installing a tracker, the antivirus is rampant and asks you to help it remove this program. It is possible that your favorite torrent tracker has not been blocked, but your antivirus is blocking it. Deactivate it, then try again.
Also, if your favorite tracker has any problems with the equipment, then downloading in this case will also be impossible. Therefore, we recommend that you go to the official website of the tracker and read the latest news.
If we talk about why the authorities block torrents, then the answer is obvious - a very large sales market and capital turnover, which is in no way taxable. By the way, in Western countries, people are even afraid to use a torrent, because it is illegal, and if this program is detected on a computer, a very large fine can shine.
Why doesn't the torrent client called UTorrent work
As mentioned in the paragraph above - try to pause your anti-virus tool. During the download, your computer is connected to many others, which is very similar to a DDOS attack. If you are wondering why the "Zone" torrent does not work, then the answer will be the same. At its core, the "Zone" is identical to its original, it only has a search function for all availabletorrents. Also try updating these two programs to the latest version. If it does not help, then you should use a VPN - this is a means by which your IP address becomes different, for example, a French citizen. Many download torrents this way.
Ways to bypass blocking
In the paragraph about why torrents do not work, we already touched on the fact that the government blocks trackers. There is another way to transfer torrents from hand to hand - these are Magnet links, which perform the same role as their file counterparts, but their accumulation is much more difficult to trace and remove. There are many sites on the Internet where movies, music, games and more are distributed solely through such links.
In closing
We hope that after reading the article about why torrents do not work, you understand the main reasons for their failure to work. We also strongly discourage the use of such file transfer resources as this may be considered copyright infringement.
