Torrents Day is celebrated every year on March 30 across the country. This day is set aside to celebrate torrenting and torrent websites like Kickass Torrents, and the strong community built around torrenting. A fun celebration, Torrents Day is celebrated by people downloading and sharing as much as possible. A great way to share files across the internet, torrenting is often associated with illegal activities when torrenting is not illegal at all. It’s a great way of sharing large files for multiple reasons — from software to copyright-free media.
History of Torrents Day
Torrents Day is celebrated on March 30 every year. This fun day is celebrated across the country where people torrent and share files over the internet and celebrate torrenting websites like Kickass Torrents which offer a space for people to share everything from software and music files to videos.
Torrenting refers to the process of sharing torrent files, which is a compute file that lists out an index of all the parts of a file. A torrent reader is then able to read this file, connect to the internet and to various other people who have the file, and download small parts of the file from different places. It is a quick way of sharing extremely large files over the internet.
Torrenting as a rule depends heavily on the community. When someone tries to download a file using a torrent, they are dependent on Seeders who are people who have left their files to seed. This means that the files are open and available to be registered by torrent reading software that can then download pieces of the file from different torrent users.
Seeding is considered an important aspect of the culture of torrenting as it is essentially a way of contributing to the crowdsourcing of the bandwidth necessary as well as the different pieces of a file. Once all the pieces have been downloaded, they are assembled by the torrent reading software called a BitTorrent File Distribution System, so that the file can be used as intended.
