One who frequently downloads files using the Bit Torrent protocol. A "torrenteer" typically belongs to several torrent sites and is generally good about seeding back what they take.

a file that is constantly moving accross a large network. in order to download the file, the downloading file segments must at the same time be uploaded to other users requesting the file. torrents are tagged with a unique ID so that any particular torrent can be located from anywhere on the network with the correct software.
I need to search the torrents for some practice testing software before I go to take my CompTIA A+ Certification exam.

further to current definition, it should be noted that over the past 12 months or so, there has been a surge in torrent sites offering "free downloads" but where you have to pay a monthly fee to join. Some of these sites claim to be anonymous (bullsh*t by the way).
All these sites are simply mirrors of freely-available sites, carrying links to .torrent files for use with BitTorrent. The pay-to-join sites mostly don't even host any .torrent files themselves (that's how they get around the law) and this, in turn, means if you are actually stupid enough to shell out for any of these sites, you have lower intelligence than the average boiled sprout. Go shoot yourself in the gut, right now, to ensure you can't produce any spawn stupider than yourself.

"This great free 100% legal (yeah right!) downloads site is definitely worth the money to join. Because, y'know, we aren't just linking to torrents you can find for free elsewhere.
Look, just give us all your money, dumbass"

1. When I was torrenting, the RIAA sent me a letter to stop torrenting.
2. When I am torrenting, my router crashes.
3. I use a lot of bandwidth torrenting.
4. My ISP sued me for torrenting.
5. Torrenting is easy to do.

A large, overwhelming flood; an overwhelming number or amount.
This is the academic definition of the word and i think its important to point out because it shows the root of why its called Bit-torrent.
