Files with the .TORRENT extension contain metadata, information on other data – files and folders, which are to be distributed within a network based on BitTorrent. The may also include data on trackers – addressees of computers which help to localise files within the network.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the TORRENT file after converting to IMPORTED may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from TORRENT to IMPORTED to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting TORRENT to IMPORTED does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in TORRENT format, properly converted to a IMPORTED file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your TORRENT file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to IMPORTED on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the TORRENT file in its original format (without conversion to IMPORTED file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
