How do you download torrent?

Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_%28protocol%29

This method was introduced to me by a friend. As far as I know, this is the safest method I have ever tried. All you have to do is to search for a torrent, read comments about it, and then download! Here's the procedure:

Step 1
Download and install one of the following

uTorrent
BitLord

Step 2
Go to www.torrentz.com. This site is like Google. It is a search engine for torrents. You just type in the file you wanted to download (e.g. game, software, etc). Results will then be displayed like a list. From the list, you may choose and click. You will be given the list of websites where you can download the torrent file. (e.g. mininova, thepiratebay, etc.)

Step 3
After being redirected to the website you clicked, you may now download the torrent BUT before you do so, I advice you to READ COMMENTS. Not all torrents are working fine and worse, some contain virus that may crash your pc (like what I have experienced T_T). From other users' comments, you may find out if the torrent you will be downloading is in good shape. If there are no comments, I think you should not download it and let someone try it first. Say comments are okay with the torrent, proceed to the download.

Step 4
Downloading the torrent does not actually mean you already have the file you wanted. Torrent is just a trigger to the download. To start the download, double click the torrent. This will call for the application we installed in step#1. That should begin the download.

Step 5
You wait

Step 6
Enjoy your file :)

NOTE:

• There are two persons involved in BitTorrent protocol. The seeder (the one who shares the file) and the leecher (the one who gets the file). Speed of download depends on the number of seeders. If there are many seeder, you can have the file in no time. However, seeders are sometimes limited, causing your download to slow down. Good thing about this method is you can pause it and then resume it. If the download is not yet down, but you have to turn off your PC, you can pause it, then resume it in some other time.
• This is ILLEGAL.
