Torrent on my Chromebook? Solved!

How To Download Torrent On A Chromebook Mac

Samsung Series 3 user here. Love my chromebook but I admit I was a little bummed with the lack of torrent options for it. Well today I figured it out.

Put.io has solved all my problems, and gone above and beyond what I ever thought was capable for torrenting on my chromebook. It's a service that you copy your magnet link and post to their site, they upload the torrent and host it on their servers. You can then stream your movie or whatever from put.io or you can download the file to your computer (like I do with e-books) Right now I'm paying under 5 USD a month to use 10GB. I'm not trying to sound like an advertiser here, I'm not, but this site really changed the way I can use my chromebook, and I'm really happy about it. If I can help just one other person I'll be glad. Enjoy!

Torrents get a bad rap, but there are plenty of legitimate and legal reasons for downloading them. While you can’t use BitTorrent itself on a Chromebook, there are some great alternatives available.

Chromebook Download Free

Torrents are synonymous with downloading illegal content like pirated movies, music, and other media, but there are legal reasons for torrents as well. Any file can be shared as a torrent, and sharing a file as a torrent means there isn’t any single server that gets bogged down by handling all the traffic. You can legally download public domain films, text, and other media from the Internet Archive, and even full Linux OS images through torrents.

Set Up a VPN

How

Torrents are also one of the easiest ways to get a malicious file on your computer. That shouldn’t be a problem on a Chromebook, but it doesn’t hurt to take an extra precaution before you download the entire Internet. A VPN is easy to use on Chromebooks, and it’ll give you that extra peace of mind. It’ll also help your ISP off your back since many of them look for torrent traffic and will get in your face about it whether you’re downloading illegal content or not.

We’ve already got a great guide to connecting to a VPN on your Chromebook, so we’ll point you there for details on getting it set up. Once you’ve done that, we’ll take a look at a couple of good torrent clients for your Chromebook and how to set them up.
