If you’re are used to using torrents on your home computer, there is a good reason that you can use them on your Android device too , be it the tablet or your smartphone, but do make sure there is enough harddisk or SD space for storage . Portability means on the Go ,and while on the move , you can monitor the downloading . Finding and downloading torrents on an Android device is easy–and best of all, free. But do be aware, though, that just because something is freely available via torrent does not mean that it is legally available.
A torrent is a small file that provides a BitTorrent client with information about where to find and download the pieces of a larger file (often a media file, and it could be a mobile application, a digital video ,podcast , ebooks ,software , music mp3,mp4 in different codec format ). When you open a .torrent file in a BitTorrent client, the client begins downloading and assembling the file.
BitTorrent users don’t download files from one central location. Instead, they use peer-to-peer file sharing and download thousands of pieces of files from dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of different users ,kind of sharing on peers
When the torrent has finished downloading, the complete file will be available on your computer (or device). Torrents are somewhat popular for granting free access to pirated music, movies, and software. Often, they are used for completely legitimate purposes. Asus,a device manufacturer , for example, distributes its device driver files through the BitTorrent protocol. Large amounts of non-copyrighted media are also available through this source. We do not encourage illegal download, but the technology provided is free and is a useful tool
How to download torrents on an Android device:

Press the “Settings’ gear icon on the top left corner and then tap “Download Directory” to set your torrents’ download location. You will need to enter a path manually.
