From the torrent websites, you need to search and download the torrent file of Linux distribution that you want to install. You can read our article Best torrent websites to discover active torrent sites.
After downloading the torrent file, you need to open your Torrent client, add the file, and start downloading. I am going to type in Kali so I know this is a Kali Linux because I have a lot of different machines here. You can name it whatever you want, the choice is entirely up to you. Here you will allot the amount of RAM you want it to have. It should work fine by default, I just have a habit of allotting it above one gigabyte for the sake of this tutorial, I will allot it two gigabytes of RAM probably because we will be working with some of the programs that can be demanding and resource intensive.
Just click next and create a virtual hard drive now. That is the drive this will be using and just use this one Vidia Virtualbox and this image and click next. It is dynamically allocated. Basically it is a file that will only use space on your hard drive as it fills up to the maximum size. Click next and here you will allot the drive space.
It should work fine. Then click create. Now we have our environment under the name Kali set up. Then we have one more thing left to do. There are a variety of websites that list torrents. Some are more reliable than others. There are two main types of torrent trackers: public trackers and private trackers. Public trackers are available to anyone. These are the sites you will find when doing a web search for torrent trackers. Because of their public nature, many torrents are tracked by copyright holders, and downloading them can result in action from your internet service provider.
Private trackers require invites. These sites are not accessible until you have been invited by another member. They often have requirements, such as sharing an equal amount of what you download. Private trackers are much less likely to result in cease and desist letters from copyright holders.
Most public trackers have every new show, movie, album, and game available, as well as popular old files. Use popular shorthand for finding the file you want. Download a well-populated torrent. The speed at which you can download a torrent file is determined by the number of seeders available. A seeder is a torrent user that has the entire file available for downloading. Most torrent sites allow you to sort search results by the number of seeders.
Look for files with a large number of seeders. Not only will you download it faster, but it is less likely that the file is fake or infected with a virus. The number of leechers will affect your download speed as well. A leecher is a user that is downloading, but is not currently seeding. A leecher becomes a seeder when the full file has been downloaded.
If there are significantly more leechers than seeders, the amount of bandwidth you receive will be lower, resulting in slower downloads. Choose a torrent with a good size versus quality. This is especially important for video files. Because compression can affect quality, smaller files will often look and sound significantly poorer than the same video with a larger size.
On the flipside, downloading a larger file can take significantly longer depending on your connection. Read as many comments as possible to determine if other users feel that the quality of the file is good and worth your time. Some trackers have a rating system which allows users to vote on if the file is good or not.
Download a magnet link if available. These files are slightly different than a standard torrent file. They match content based on a unique identifier that can then be accessed without the use of central trackers. Make sure that you can run the content. Torrents can be used to transfer any file type.
Because of this, the file you download may be one that you are not familiar with. VLC Player is a free, open-source media player that can play virtually any media file that you download. ISO files are disc images, and either need to be burned or mounted in a virtual drive in order to run them. Beware of viruses. Because torrents often exist in a legal gray area, there is no oversight as to the kinds of files that are made available.
This means that hackers will embed viruses in torrents that they hope to spread to other users. These are often included in popular searches in order to get the most victims possible.
Scan every file that you download for viruses. Try to download files that have been released by trusted sources in the community. Always check comments and ratings to see if anyone else experienced virus attacks with the torrent.
Part 2. The BitTorrent protocol lets you exchange or distribute data over the Internet. There's no central server involved; data is downloaded from other users seeders. You need a client application that will connect to the host and manage the download. There are multiple clients available for free online. The torrent file that you download from the tracker site is very small, usually only a few KB in size. This file does not contain the content that you are downloading.
The file acts as a guide for downloading pieces of the file from other clients. Use the BitTorrent client you installed in the previous step to open the file. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. I downloaded xubuntu And furthermore how to install it on the netbook which currently has the android x86 os on it.
I installed it to see how it runs and didnt like it but now I'm having a hard time taking it off or rather replacing it with something else.
The file you downloaded is a torrent file. You need to open the file with a torrent manager like this. After downloading the complete iso file, burn it to your pendrive with tools like unetbootin. You can easily find other information on google. BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer download network that sometimes enables higher download speeds and more reliable downloads of large files.
You will need to install a BitTorrent client on your computer in order to enable this download method. There are several torrent clients available for Ubuntu and the Ubuntu family flavours for example Xubuntu as well as for Windows and MacOS. I use the torrent client Transmission in Lubuntu and it works well for me.
You can start it via Dash in standard Ubuntu or via the menu in most other operating systems or via the following command line in Linux. The torrent process will check the md5sum automatically and it is often but not always faster than downloading the iso file directly. Some internet service providers block torrents because they think that all torrent actions are illegal.
Use a tool to create a USB boot drive fron an iso file. The cloning method works with all Ubuntu and Ubuntu family iso files.
