I am presuming that you are here on TGx to torrent, so i will not get into what torrenting is, but more what software and countermeasures you need....

What do you need to torrent?

If you are new to the world of torrenting, it is not as easy to show or say how things work.   Unfortunately, you cannot just try to download a torrent without having some kind of software between you and the download.

1.   A client....

Now, as a new user we presume you want to download torrents from TGx......  

You need what is called a “client” which is a software program which acts as a go between from your computer to our site - effectively it allows you to download .torrent files since you cannot do it without a client.

Steps are simple, install a client, have it working properly (sometimes the tricky part) and you are ready to download to your hearts content….

The first thing you need to install client software to help you download .torrent files to your computer; then once it is set up properly, you are off to the races….

Here are a few of the good ones:

uTorrent     https://www.utorrent.com/
Deluge https://deluge-torrent.org/
Vuze https://www.vuze.com/
Transmission   https://transmissionbt.com/download/

Now that you have the first piece of the puzzle, you need to atomize your connection to make sure the man does not see you download/upload torrents.

2.   VPN’s and why they are needed....

First of all see this on pirating more safetly....

What do VPNs do?

They disguise your activity from ISPs. Your ISP cannot see what you get up to on the internet as all data that passes between your computer and the VPN server is encrypted. This means that your ISP cannot see what you are torrenting, or indeed, that you are torrenting. Prevent others seeing your real IP address.

VPNs are the best way to be anonymous since they mask your IP address and you can move from one country to another at the click of a button. Virtual Private Networks are great as long as you get ones that do not log traffic. Here is an older but great article from the people of torrentfreak with the best of the best for torrenting...

Everyone has their favourite, but to me it is NordVPN – used Private Internet for a while, but there were problems, but that was years ago.

Now that you have the knowledge, go forth and download from TGx....

How does torrenting work technically and simply....

An old user from a few years ago came up with this...

Imagine that the file you want to download is divided into thousands of little pieces. Everyone who's trying to acquire the file have some pieces, that they can send to others—and conversely get the pieces they miss from others. Over time, everyone gets the whole cake! :)

The magic of torrents is that there's no central server from which everyone downloads the file: it's distributed, meaning that if 1,000 people hold the file that you want, that's about a thousand locations from which to get it! The only thing you need is a list of the trackers, and that's what the ".torrent" file is for, usually available countless times on different websites. Thus, more importantly perhaps, no one can stop it—lest you shut down the internet for billions of users.

Then advanced concepts (lol): some people have the whole file but keep sharing it to others, they're called "seeds". Everyone else, people who only have a partial file, is called a "peer". Obviously, big, fast seeds are a must when you wish to download a torrent.
How about those bloody acronyms we use on uploaded moving picture files?   Here is a great tutorial on that...

Any questions or concerns or if I missed something (which is highly possible) please let me know.
