What is a .TORRENT file?

A .torrent file holds the information BitTorrent needs to download a file from many peers. Opened by clients like qBittorrent.

Did you know
  • BitTorrent launched in 2001 and the small .torrent file describes what to download, not the data itself.
  • A torrent file is encoded in bencode and lists tracker URLs plus a SHA-1 hash for every piece of the content.
  • Its info section is hashed into an infohash that uniquely identifies the download across the network.
What Analyser reads
Identify BitTorrent files (TORRENT) and their file list, plus partial or incomplete downloads (PART, CRDOWNLOAD).
Depth of analysis
.TORRENT is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
Open a .TORRENT file
Drag a .TORRENT file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
