You can legally download public domain films , text, and other media from the Internet Archive , and even full Linux OS images through torrents. Torrents are also one of the easiest ways to get a malicious file on your computer.
This will open the Downloads folder in your Chrome file browser. From here, you can set JSTorrent to automatically open the Magnet links that are typically used to share torrents.
Click the overlapping squares in the right corner of the address bar. With that out of the way, head to the site where your torrent is located and click the magnet link or download the torrent file. Open the Files app, then right-click on the name of the torrent file. You can see the progress of all your downloads in this window or the notification area.
You can also download a file by pasting the torrent URL near the top of the window. Deluge is a free torrent client for Linux operating systems, and more and more Chromebooks can install desktop Linux applications.
Close the terminal once the installation is complete. Select your username on the left, then double click the torrent file you copied to the Linux folder. You can also download the torrent by URL. The torrent will start downloading. No matter which method you use to download a torrent, remember to be safe. While Chromebooks are more secure than Windows or macOS computers, downloading a file from a shady site is never a good idea.

In addition, in some cases we have to configure them or at least adapt them to our needs. We tell you all this because at this point, many users consider the idea that it would be easier to download a torrent directly from their browser. This is something that would make things easier for the most novice users in this type of downloads, which there are still many.
In the same way, there are people who do not want to use additional software for this type of task, so we are going to help them along these lines. Specifically, we are going to show you some alternatives to download torrent files from the browser itself.
Here we find JSTorrent , an extension for the Google browser that allows us to search and download torrents directly from here. Keep in mind that once installed, the downloads are added to the program as if they were a normal file from any other website. At the same time, it offers us a series of management functions for torrent downloads and shows us information about each file that we deal with.
So we see the download speed, size, or its status, among other things of interest. In this way we avoid having to use external third-party clients. Another extension that we can use to download torrents is this proposal, a complement that we can download and install in Chrome.
Once this is done, it presents us with a series of interesting functions in this regard. As an example, Bitford allows us to preview via streaming the videos that we are downloading, something that will be very useful to us. Keep in mind that in this case we have an open source JavaScript developer project and it saves us the use of additional P2P clients. Below we show you the alternative called uTorrent Easy Client , which, as its name suggests, is the Chrome extension of the popular uTorrent client.
This only requires a simple initial configuration so that we can download files in torrent format without using any other program besides Chrome. This extension is a sort of cross between cloud storage and bit-torrent web app. I prefer getting file download prompts over downloads being automatically saved to the system once they complete.
That's true for most file types but not for all. For instance, I prefer that torrent files get downloaded directly in a BitTorrent application as that's where I'd load them in anyway. You too may have certain file types that you want opened directly. As a Firefox user, I'm spoiled by the options the web browser offers as you can set default actions for known file types easily on the Applications Settings page which you can open directly in the browser's settings.
Just load about:preferences in the browser's address bar and locate the Applications section on the page to define rules for individual file types. Google Chrome on the other hand does not have that option, and the process is slightly more complex and less manageable than Firefox's.
It starts with a download. Download the file type that you want opened automatically in the Chrome browser. You should see it displayed in the downloads bar at the bottom of the page.
