Article Summary. Part 1. Navigate to the website for the BitTorrent client. A BitTorrent client is an application that uses a BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol.

It is required for you to download content from Pirate Bay. It's recommended you look into what some more experienced users think about certain applications. Click the Download button. After you navigate to a website for a Bit Torrent client, click the button to download the install file.

Double-click the Bit Torrent Client install file. By default, files you download can be found in your Downloads folder in Windows and Mac. You can also open an install file you downloaded from within your web browser. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the install process.

Thoroughly read through all terms and conditions, and opt out of any additional third-party services you may not want to be installed on your computer. These include browser toolbars and extensions. In many cases, these types of programs are installed as add-ons at the same time you download and install BitTorrent clients.

Launch the BitTorrent client. When the installation is complete, double-click the Bit Torrent client icon to open Bit Torrent. Review the current preferences and settings. The settings icon usually has an icon that resembles a gear, or they are in the Options menu.

Make any changes to the settings and preferences you need. Things you may want to change include determining whether you want the client launched upon startup, indicating whether you want items to begin downloading automatically when added to the client, and choosing where you want torrent files are saved after downloading the files using the BitTorrent client, and where the downloaded files are saved to.

Close the Preferences or Settings window when complete. You can now start downloading files from Pirate Bay. Part 2. You can use any web browser on PC or Mac. This is the website for Pirate Bay. Pirate Bay often changes its URL frequently to avoid being penalized by countries in which downloading torrents is considered illegal. There are also proxy sites that allow access to the Pirate Bay when the main website is blocked.

This will help protect you from people who may try to track your activity. This includes your internet service provider and the authorities. Type the name of something you want to download in the search bar. You can enter the name of a movie, television show, music album, video game, ebook, or any other type of content as desired.

A list of torrent files matching your search criteria will display on-screen. Place a checkmark next to the category of the items you want downloaded to narrow your search results. Alternately, click on the categories displayed above the search box to view torrents arranged by recently uploaded, top torrents, TV shows, and music. You can search for your ideal file based on its file type, file size, and the number of seeders it has.

Seeders are users who share files using a BitTorrent client so the files can be downloaded by other users. In most cases, the more seeders a file has, the faster that file will be downloaded to your computer.

Click on the torrent file you want downloaded. A page featuring more details about the torrent file will display on-screen. It contains information such as the language of the file, file format, audio specs, magnet link, and comments from other users about the torrent file.

When downloading torrent files from Pirate Bay, stick to clicking on magnet links to have the torrent file moved to your BitTorrent client. Check the number of seeders. Seeders are the number of people that contain the file you want to download. A high number of seeders will ensure that you have a steady download. If there is a low number of seeders, your download may be interrupted. If there is more Leechers than Seeders, the download may be slow.

Click on the magnet link displayed on the torrent page. When downloading torrent files, try to download files uploaded by users with skulls displayed next to their usernames. Pirate Bay assigns skulls next to trusted and active users known to upload quality files to the site.

Icons can be associated to folders, folder names, files, file extensions, file names and language IDs. Additionally each of these associations can be refined for 'light' and 'highContrast' color themes. The light and the highContrast section have the same file association properties as just listed. They allow to override icons for the corresponding themes. The fonts section lets you declare any number of glyph fonts that you want to use. You can later reference these fonts in the icon definitions.

The font declared first will be used as the default if an icon definition does not specify a font id. Copy the font file into your extension and set the path accordingly.
