What is what does torrents mean?

Torrents refer to a type of file sharing system that allows users to share and download files through a peer-to-peer network rather than a central server. This means that instead of downloading a file from a specific website or server, users can download pieces of the file from other users who have already downloaded it. Torrents have become a popular way for people to share large files like movies, music, and software. However, while torrents themselves are legal, some of the content being shared may be copyrighted and illegal to download.
