Torrents are a type of file-sharing protocol that allows users to download and share large files, including music albums, movies, and software.

This decentralized approach to file-sharing allows users to download files quickly and efficiently, without relying on a single server.

Stay tuned for our next deep dive into the classics that shaped the modern scene.
