Opening TORRENT Files without BitTorrent Metainfo File
Different software packages tend to sometimes share similar file types. BitTorrent Metainfo File is one of the popular programs that use the TORRENT file extension, so you should be able to use it to open your file. You might even be able to find others by doing a quick Google search.
A word of warning, though. Be sure to scan any free software you download with a malware checker before running it on your computer.
If You Have BitTorrent Metainfo File Installed
If this software package is already installed on your PC, but it still won't work to open your TORRENT file, you might have to check that the file associations are correct. Right-click on the file, select "Open With..." and then select BitTorrent Metainfo File. That will create an association between the TORRENT file extension and your chosen software.
Your TORRENT Might Be Corrupt
Finally, if you're still having issues opening your TORRENT file, download the file again or ask the sender to resend it. It's possible that your TORRENT file might be corrupt. As a last resort, contact the software developers to see if they may be of further assistance.
Here's a list of TORRENT-related software programs and their developers:
| Software | Developer |
|---|---|
| BitTorrent Metainfo File | Bram Cohen; now maintained by BitTorrent Inc. |
