Torrents are a way of sharing files over the internet using a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. They allow users to download and share large files, including eBooks, movies, music, and software. Torrents work by breaking down files into small pieces, called "pieces" or "chunks," which are then shared among users.
On the other hand, the use of torrents to share eBooks raises concerns about copyright infringement and piracy. Many authors and publishers rely on the sale of eBooks to make a living, and the sharing of eBooks through torrents can deprive them of revenue.
