How to install a game downloaded via torrent?

Today on the Internet there are a huge number of games of different genres that can be played online. But it is possible to install your favorite game directly on your computer so that you can open it if necessary, even if there is no Internet connection. To install the game, you need to initially download it; in this case, the best option would be to use the Torrent program. But if you downloaded the game via Torrent, how to install it, as well as what nuances need to be taken into account when using the designated download program? These issues should be considered in more detail.

How to install a game downloaded via Torrent - instructions

After downloading the game using the Torrent utility, you can install it on your computer in several ways. One of the simplest and most convenient options is automatic installation. You can find the downloaded file with the game directly in the “Downloads” section. If you have the setup.exe file after downloading, you can install the game and start playing right away. It should also be said that convenience includes the fact that almost all popular installers make very important requests during installation. Eg:

what language to choose for installation (Russian/English);
on which disk to place the game folder (D, C, F);
whether to place the shortcut on the desktop or on the taskbar;
whether to allow installation of additional software.

The indicated parameters are important, because you can independently manage the installation process. One more nuance should be noted. That in the case when, during installation, it prompts you to install additional software, you must definitely review the proposed options. The fact is that quite often unnecessary programs and applications are downloaded into the general package. As a result, they simply clog up the computer's memory, and as a result it will work slower.

How to use uTorrent to download

The program has a torrent search engine, but the search results are still displayed in the browser. Use the usual search engines Yandex or Google. Let's find and download the movie via torrent.

1. First you need to download a torrent client: follow the link and download the latest version of the uTorrent program.

2. After installing the program, proceed to search for the required file. Let's download a torrent using the example of a film with Charlie Chaplin: enter the request in the application search form or in the Google or Yandex search engine.

When searching for games or programs, use proven torrent trackers Rutor and RuTracker. Add tracker names to the title of a game or movie to help trusted sites appear higher in search results. Thanks to the large number of users, downloading from these resources is faster, and from the comments it is immediately clear whether this or that file is worth downloading.

3. In addition to the tracker, add quality for a movie or “Rus” for a program or game to the name. For example, “Counter-Strike Rus Rutor” or “Charlie Chaplin 1080 Rutor”.

4. Select the most appropriate search result. Give preference to the result with the most detailed information about the downloaded file: weight, codec, the word “.torrent” in the description.

5. After going to the site, pay attention to the information about the distribution and select the line with the maximum number of seeds - users who downloaded the entire file and are participating in the distribution. The more people distribute, the faster the download will happen.

6. Rutor offers several distribution options: click on the link with the highest indicator values in the “Peers” column on the right.

7. On unfamiliar sites, do not be distracted by blocks with advertising links.

8. After following the magnet link or clicking on the torrent file, a window will open asking you to open the file with uTorrent or download it to your computer. In the second case, double-click on the downloaded file with the application icon.

9. The program will open and ask you to select a download location. Specify a drive that has a lot of free space, preferably D or E. Do not specify the system drive C.

10. The torrent has been added to the queue. The download time depends on the speed of the Internet connection and the number of sharing users.

11. Download complete. To play the media file, click on the "Play Now" link.

12. The free version of the application may not have a video start button. To play a media file in a standard operating system player, right-click on the torrent and select the “Open” context menu item.

13. Click on the “Open folder” link to go to the directory with the saved file. The movie or track can be moved to another disc, renamed, or played.

Game downloaded from Torrent as an archive

An equally convenient option is to download the game as an archive. This is due to the fact that the archive contains the game itself and the components necessary for its operation, but at the same time it downloads faster. Accordingly, this saves significant time while waiting. The archive is unpacked using a special archiver, and then the game is installed as indicated in the previous version. The most popular archives are rar, zip and 7zip.

It should be noted that sometimes a game file can be unzipped by double-clicking on it with the right mouse button (RMB). But sometimes it doesn't work. In this case, you need to select the desired file by right-clicking on it once, and then click on the “Extract” section. Next, the installation procedure is identical to the above option.

Game downloaded from Torrent as an archive

Most games downloaded from the Internet do not require original CDs or DVDs, but there are still some that will not run without them. Thanks to Torrent, you can install similar games. Thanks to special tools, a kind of copy of the original disk is created and this is called a disk image. It stores all the necessary files that the game allows

First start

In review:
When you first launch the program, it will launch a short tutorial that will allow you to quickly get used to the basic functions of the MediaGet torrent client. However, mastering the functionality will not take you much time in any case. The interface is intuitive and completely Russified. The buttons are large and clearly labeled. If any icon raises questions, just hover your cursor over it and an explanatory text will appear.

The main work area of the program is one of the main pages of the catalog with films sorted by default. The adjacent tabs contain TV series (online), games, programs, books and subscriptions. You can independently sort the files offered by the program in several ways or go through genre collections.

To the left of the catalog there are three main tabs of the program: catalog, downloads and media player.

There are three ways to manually add a new download.

Upload an already downloaded torrent file from your computer through a special dialog box.
Paste the torrent link into the same dialog box.
Insert into the above dialog box a link to a page on the Internet where the required torrent file is located.

The game is in disc image format

Since initially you will need to indicate to the operating system that an additional virtual disk will be created in it. Next, you need to use any available file manager (for example, Windows Explorer) to go directly to the created additional disk. It is important to remember that the created virtual disk must be activated initially. The installation of the game is then carried out using the already marked option, that is, it needs to be installed.

Important nuances

Lately, many users have been complaining that they are unable to download or install the game.

Often this problem occurs because the antivirus considers the downloaded file a threat and blocks the process. You can solve this problem by temporarily disabling your antivirus. But in this case, it is recommended to download games from official sites so as not to “catch” some kind of “worm”. After installation, you absolutely need to re-enable the antivirus and run it to scan for viruses.
Also, the inability to launch an already installed game may occur due to an antivirus, but the reason may be the presence of an outdated version of a driver or the absence of a corresponding library file. Installing them will solve the problem and you can then enjoy your favorite game.
If an antivirus blocks the installation of a game, then you can go directly to its settings and specify in the appropriate folder the files (responsible for checking installations) of games that will not be scanned by antiviruses. If there is no file with the downloaded game in the folder, you can look for it in the “Quarantine” section. But after installation, be sure to check your computer with an antivirus.

In conclusion, it must be said that the indicated methods for installing a game on a computer after downloading via Torrent are not a complicated process. Everything is simple and convenient. The only problem may be searching on the Internet for interesting and exciting games that you will really want to play for more than one day.

Using built-in search

If you don't find a suitable file in the catalog, you can use the built-in smart search function. Just start typing the name of the file you are looking for and the search will tell you possible options. The list suggested as a result of the search will contain all files containing the specified combination of symbols or words. The files will be of varying quality and size, and will be taken from all available torrent trackers, interaction with which is allowed by the program settings. At the end of each line in the list there are two buttons: for downloading and for playing. Typically, when you start playback, downloading starts automatically. You can upload files without previewing. All functions are designed for user convenience.

Using Titanium Backup (ROOT)

How to set up and use torrent on Android (or how to download torrent files from your phone)

To transfer a game from one Android phone to another, you will need superuser rights. Obtaining these rights will remove your device from the warranty period, so do not use this method if your phone is still under warranty. You need to install several applications that are freely available on the Play Market or on the Internet.

The first program is ES Explorer. It can be downloaded through the Play Market, you only need to install it on the phone from which you will transfer the game

The only thing you need from this program is to open the “Tools” item, activate the “Root Explorer” switch and confirm your actions. It is very important to note, before continuing the process of transferring the game with progress from one Android smartphone to another, you need to update the game in the Play Market to the latest version so that later there will be no problems with game versions

Next, you need to install two utilities:

Titanium+Backup
Titanium+Backup+Patcher

The first program makes a backup of the application (saves) and with its help we will restore this application to its original form. But, since this program is paid and there are no free analogues, we will need a second program that expands the capabilities of the demo version of the program to a full one.

We download and install these applications, run Titanium+Backup first, open it and give it root access at startup. Then install the second program. In this program, we need to click only one button “Patch” and not touch anything else.

We wait a few seconds and open the first program. If everything is done correctly, you will see green checkmarks in the center of the screen when the program is fully launched. After that, in the upper right corner, click on the “Menu” button. In the window that opens, select “Back up all user software” and click “Start”. A list of all smartphone applications that can be archived will open. Here you need to select only your game and remove all third-party marks, then click on the green checkmark in the upper right corner of the screen.

Once the process is complete, you will need to go to the save folder for all backups. By default, this is the “sdcard 0” folder. You can go to it using the previously installed ES explorer, in the upper left corner. Open the “local storage” tab and select sdcard 0. This is where the game backup is located. It consists of three files. To transfer games to a second smartphone, you will need to transfer these files using a microSD card or computer.

Then, repeat installing all programs on the second device in the same sequence as you did for the first time and set root rights. By default, Titnium+Backup creates the “sdcard 0” folder during installation. Transfer the game backup there, namely these three files.

The Google Play account and Play Market must be the same on both devices, otherwise you will not be able to transfer the game from Android to Android.

Download the game on the second smartphone, launch it and immediately close it, then restart the phone. Open Tinatium+Backup and open the “Menu” section (upper right corner). Scroll down the list to the “Restore all software with data” column. Go into it and see the number 1 with the name of the application (this is your backup). Check the following boxes:

Software+data
exclude systemic
the name of your game

And click on the green checkmark in the upper right corner. We wait for the backup to finish downloading until the message about successful completion is displayed. That’s all, open the game, wait until the download is complete and continue to enjoy the game from where you finished it on another smartphone with the same bonuses, achievements, etc.
