What Is a Magnet Link?
First, we need to understand some basics. Magnet links and torrent files go hand in hand, but they aren’t exactly the same thing.
In fact, if you use a magnet link, you don’t even need to download a torrent file to start downloading the content.
Its crucial identifying information
– the hash
– is calculated on a given website rather than on the torrent client and sent directly to your Bittorrent program.
The benefits of the magnet link are that a site doesn’t need to host the original torrent file anymore and just has to provide the link.
For the user, this cuts out the need to download a torrent file before downloading the content, and for the site,
it saves on bandwidth because it doesn’t need to host files on its servers.
How to Use Magnet Links
If you can’t see a prominent magnet link on your torrent file page, there is another easy option.
On most torrent download sites, magnet link info hashes are viewable on the correct torrent file page.
The following is an example of one such info hash on a popular download site.

>spread the files out so they aren't concentrated in one place?
sort of correct, briefly:
the files ( movies, music, vids, documents, books, magazines, et. ) are DIGITAL pieces right,
these pieces are SEEDED out and harvested from many online computers and servers, until COMPLETED.
where you as the end-user / client, are LEECHING ( giving access to) the same portions of the SEEDS you select,
where other anon end-users download ( ALL depending on how you set the OPTIONS ).
