Torrent Sprint

The massive torrenting of music, videos, pictures, etc. before a student returns to university, usually because of IT policies set by the school to prevent such kinds of downloading.

Dude, winter quarter starts tomorrow. I have to go on a torrent sprint before then. Any good bands you can recommend?

torrentiquette

torrentiquette is proper etiquette for using the bit torrent p2p system, generally seeding a torrent until your share rating, or the ratio of uploaded content to downloaded content, reaches 1.0.

Hit and run downloaders don't follow torrentiquette.

torrent

The most kickass way of sharing files. People upload the pieces of the requested file they have, and in turn, download the parts of the file they don't have. All those other porn-filled RIAA-controlled P2P networks can SUCK IT.

Torrent files are pretty much the best file-sharing method, hands down.

torrent

A torrent is a constantly moving file over a large network. typically pirated movies, torrents work by people downloading a small beginning file, and then using a program (ie: transmission) to finish it. this program works by downloading the parts that you don't have from other people doing the same thing, and uploading the parts that others need. most torrent's contents are illegal. the current fine for having a copyrighted movie (most torrents) is up to $250,000 and/or up to 5 years in jail.

They didn't have the movie I wanted at blockbuster, so I downloaded the torrent.
