DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TORRENT AND MAGNET LINK

ANSWER:-

ADVANTAGES:-
MAGNET LINK
TORRENT
They do not need a central authority to issue.
Faster connection.
They has open nature and platform independence, the same magnet link can be used as long as the system has the appropriate application.
Easier to search through the web.
They are more user based, easy to use. All the system need is an application that support magnet links.

Since it is user based, it is so easy to share resources.

Most Magnet links application has a search function.


DISADVANTAGE:-
MAGNET LINK
TORRENT
Slower speed.
Trackers are needed when downloading a contend. If the tracker is down and there are no existing connection, the download may never be finished due to very less seeds.
Less control on speed and on the contend that is being downloaded
Most torrent client do not have search function. Torrents usually would be find from the internet.

If a torrent was stored on web for long time, the tracker may be expired already. It is almost impossible to find existing seed or leeches.

NOTE:- I recommend using torrent because due to more seeds it offers highest downloading speed.also the tracker remains unexpired for 4-5 years.torrent trackers can be downloaded to download click here.

thank you :)
