First and foremost, hello everyone, you may call me Pine. c:
On another note, I like information handed to be on a silver platter (complete with a folded napkin and what not), so could someone explain the difference between simply downloading the game and... torrent?
thanks i love all of you guys youre great

Hi! I'm Bloo!! A Download is basicly a direct file being pulled from a server from one source.
 
A torrent is essentially a small file with link information in it, telling your computer who has the files, and what they are called. When you open the torrent, it begins to search for other users with the same torrent, and begins downloading files from every single person (peers) at once. Torrents can have up to 1000 peers (very fast download) compared to downloads (only 1 peer max). Terms: A peer is a person who has the file but is not complete, you can download from these people while at the same time downloading from SEEDERS. Seeders have the entire file and only hand out parts of it that peers dont have, to optimize connection usage.

Welcome to FeralHeart! Glad you decided to use the forums, hope you have a great time here.

Yes, Bloo explained it well. You will be safe with just using the Download. It's really easy!

Hey Bloo ~! c:
i just realized i should have used the help forum haaaaaa
ANYWAY.
Thanks, I think I have that gives me the general idea (though I'm thinking on both terms of WoW and Skyrim herp derp).
So when you say sharing things with multiple users, do you mean that you can have add-ons made by ordinary members?
Or is it just different places for different people to go on?

[xxelite_]

Ohh, I like this place already. <3
You guys are so much nicer than other people tend to be. xD

[Bloo.]

Lol it's kinda confusing. I just reccomend using regular download. Torrent only says recommended cause it's faster

[Bloo.]

Well..actually here's a simple answer to your last question i just put together in my head lol. Torrent is a protocol that allows you to download pieces of a file from many different people. It's "distributed downloading". (And, since you're downloading from strangers, it carries the risk of downloading a virus-infected file.)

Ahh, I get it now. o:
Yeah, I think I'll just download.
Thanks for answering, and I look forward to...
Hm...
Seeing you around the boards? :'D
