Rocket Torrents is a versatile platform that makes it easy to find and download torrents from the peer-to-peer, or P2P, network. Instead of hopping from one website to the next looking for the right torrent, Rocket Torrents collects the best torrent files to make it easier to find exactly what you're looking for. This program is ideal for those who love torrents but hate having to scour the Internet looking for that perfect torrent that still works.

Primary Feature

Rocket Torrents is an all-in-one torrent program that helps you find and download torrents. There are many websites with torrents, but there are few collections of every torrent file. Going from website to website can get annoying, and you never know if the torrent is working until you try downloading it. Each website also has a very different collection of torrents.

Rocket Torrent collects data from many of the top torrent sites and allows you to find the exact file you're looking for with the best health. Health refers to the number of current seeds and downloading speeds. This helps you find torrents that are still being supported. You can search torrents by entering a keyword or by looking through number categories based on genre, media and rankings.

Downloading Torrents

When you find the right torrent, and you inevitably will, Rocket Torrent also acts as a platform for downloading the torrent. This acts much like any other torrent downloading program in that it shows you the progress of the torrent and allows you to change both the download and upload rates.

Just like with other torrent programs, downloading is simple. Simply click the torrent you want to download and the program does the rest. When finished, you can decide to keep the torrent going to contribute to the downloading rate for others, or you can cut the connection.

Streaming Files

This mostly applies to smaller files, like songs and radio stations, but you have the option to stream files with ease. Along with that, you can set certain files as your favorite so that they keep playing. Removing a file from this list is just as simple.

Some select movies and episodes are available for streaming. Most will need to be downloaded, but you can stream some if you don't feel like downloading and keeping the file on your hard drive. While the selection is limited compared to torrents you can download, Rocket Torrents makes it easy to find and stream these files.

Potential Legal Issues

Rocket Torrents itself is a legal program, but please keep in mind that certain torrents may be illegal to download or stream. It's best to keep this in mind as legal entities are cracking down on this more. Be mindful when you're looking for movie and music files that the download itself might be illegal.
