Before we take a look at some of the best Torrent clients for Windows 11/10, let us understand what are Torrents. Torrent files are those small files that make it possible to download larger files efficiently over the BitTorrent protocol. These small files contain information about where the original files are stored online. And also, the larger files are broken down into small chunks called pieces. The pieces make downloading efficient and faster. The division into small pieces also adds an excellent pause and resume support to the larger files.
