For most of us, downloading torrent files to enjoy free torrent movies, videos or torrent music using a Bittorrent client like utorrent, BitComet, KTorrent, rTorrent, or Vuze is just a piece of cake.

However, there are still many people who have no idea about how to free download torrent files or torrent movies. Besides, people also wonder how to convert/burn torrent movies to DVD for playback on DVD players.

This article aims to answer two questions:
1. How to Free Download Torrent Movies?
2. How to Convert/Burn Torrent Movies to DVD for Playback on DVD Player?

How to Free Download Torrent Movies

Firstly, Get a BitTorrent Client

In order to download torrent movies, you need a BitTorrent client installed on your computer, which enables you to connect to other users and thereby download the torrent files you want. There are several popular BitTorrent clients available on their official sites:

utorrent, BitComet, KTorrent, rTorrent, or Vuze

torrent-utorrent

Then, Find a Torrent

Now that you have a BitTorrent client installed, you’ll want to find torrents you like and download them. For that you have to visit a BitTorrent directory or use a BitTorrent search engine like Torrentz. For example: open http://www.torrentz.com in your browser and search for anything (Twilight for instance). If you see something you like, follow the link and download the torrent file from the site.

And, Start the Download

Once downloaded, double-click the torrent file to open it. Your BitTorrent client will auto start downloading the torrent movies. It will ask you to specify a location to save the movie. That’s all. Not too complicated, is it?

How to Convert/Burn Torrent Movies to DVD

Torrent movies can have various extension like AVI, MP4, M2TS, MOV, MKV, etc. Then you’ll need a DVD burner software to convert torrent to DVD so as to enjoy your torrent movies on DVD player. Here I use Aimersoft DVD Creator, because it seems to be the best FLV to DVD creator which supports most popular formats of torrent movies, yet the operation is quite easy!
