How to Download Torrents on Mac

You do not need a separate torrent app if your download manager already speaks magnet links and .torrent files. AVS Download Manager includes that client next to regular downloads.

Magnet or .torrent

A magnet link is a hash plus trackers; the app finds peers and starts. A .torrent file already lists the files and piece hashes. AVS accepts both. You can pick which files in a multi-file torrent actually download.

Steps

  • Open the Torrents window in AVS
  • Paste a magnet link or open a .torrent file
  • Watch seeds and peers, then uncheck files you do not want
  • Pause or resume like any other item

Be careful what you fetch

Torrents are a transport. Copyright still applies. Only download material you have the right to download.
