It is a site that hosts torrents. The way it works is that you download a torrent file into a torrent app, like uTorrent. The torrent file contains information that tells the torrent app where to look for it; a bit like a post code for a movie. The torrent app then searches for the nearest torrent users that have the file you want and you download bits of the file from multiple users in parallel, until you have all of the file. You can then watch it.

When you access the Torrent Day site, everything you want is categorised; you can see the newest uploads and most popular etc. It is simple.

When I visit to collect the Cube replacements I will be happy to show you exactly what to do if you like? Once you start, you won't want to live without it. The Oscar screeners are the best; in January every year, all the Hollywood studios send out 'screeners' or sample DVDs of their Oscar nominated movies to reviewers on the committee. They get leaked and you can watch typically 10-15 AAA Hollywood blockbusters months before UK release.

I love it.

P.S. Torrent Day is invitation only, I can invite you so will do that just before the visit if you wish to have a go.

You learn something new everyday. I had heard of Torrent but knew nothing about how to use it.
