Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Torrent Script?

Torrent Script is a torrent aggregator search engine written in PHP with a MySQL engine. Our site is designed to harvest torrent data from various resources across the web compiling the data into our core database and organizing that data into a searchable resource in one central location. Our goal is to provide an easy-to-use directory and search engine for all kinds of torrent files. Some of the resources we harvest torrent data from include the infamous PirateBay, Mininova, TorrentBox, and others.


What is BitTorrent?

As defined by Wikipedia, BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) communications protocol. BitTorrent is a method of distributing large amounts of data widely without the original distributor incurring the entire costs of hardware, hosting and bandwidth resources. Instead, when data is distributed using the BitTorrent protocol, each recipient supplies pieces of the data to newer recipients, reducing the cost and burden on any given individual source, providing redundancy against system problems, and reducing dependence on the original distributor. The protocol is the brainchild of programmer Bram Cohen, who designed it in April 2001. Brian's BitTorrent FAQ and Guide


Is downloading torrent files from Torrent Script illegal?

Absolutely not. At torrent script, we do not host and or store any torrent file, torrent hash, or the content of any torrent file. We are merely a search engine aggregator, quite similar to any other search engine who spiders available data and allows for searching of its content. Each search result from our Database provides a link to the details and availablity page of where the torrent can be accessed directly from its originating resource. As such, you are never downloading anything from Torrent Script, its host, and or its servers.


What is a Seed?

A seed is a client that has a complete copy of the data of a certain torrent. Once your BitTorrent client finishes downloading, the torrent session it will remain open until you click the Finish button (or otherwise close it), or completely close out your BitTorrent client. This is known as being a seed or seeding. It is considered rude etiquette if you merely download your torrent file and seed for no duration.


What is a Peer?

A peer is a client that is currently downloading the data of a torrent. A peer does not have the complete file, otherwise it would be called a seed.
