What is torrent definition?

A torrent is a file that contains metadata about files and folders to be shared over the internet. Torrent files are often used for peer-to-peer file sharing. When a user wants to download a file or folder, they open the torrent file using a torrent client, which connects them to other users who have the same file or folder available for sharing. The torrent client downloads pieces of the file or folder from multiple sources, allowing for faster and more efficient downloads. Torrent files can be used to share any type of file, including music, movies, software, and documents. However, downloading or sharing copyrighted files is illegal in many jurisdictions.
