The torrent works on the Peer-To-Peer (P2P) principle. This technology helps to link 2 or more computers into one network, where each of the participant computers is connected to all other participants.The Torrent (more correctly to say BitTorrent) works based on this technology. However, there is no central server where the file is stored. Torrent sites do not store any content. They store hashed links to groups of network participants who have the desired file.Let me explain with an example.Let's say there is a file on one of the computers. Other computers see it and can start downloading it without any control server. As soon as one of the other members of the P2P network has downloaded at least part of the file, it can also share with others. It is even easier for the third party to download this file since it can download it from two computers at once and so on.There can be several thousand such participants (seeds). The more seeds, the higher the download speed.
