01. 64bit computers use more complex addressing when mapping virtual addresses into physical address in the computer memory.

02. A torrent is a peer to peer exchange platform. It will enable you to dowload files from a peer who is downloading from the same source u are currently downloading, boosting the spped.

    Ok, it's simple. If it's torrent that you are interested in here it goes.
    First of all you will have to download a torrent client. There are many clients. I recommend uTorrent. Google it and you will find it.
    >> Once you do that you have three things to do.
    1. Configure your torrent client.
    2. Create an exception in ur firewalls for the torrent.
    3. Foward ur port correctly.

    The first thing is make sure that you don't randomize the torrent port everytime you log in ok. Furthermore make sure that your global uploading rate does not exceed 12kbps.
    Secondly in your windows firewall, under the exceptions area you will have to create exceptions to the port you are using for the torrent. (under both TCP and UDP)
    Thirdly you will have to foward your port correctly from the router or the modem you are using. The way to foward this depends on the brand of ur hardware. So I can't guide you any further without knowing it.

    Hope you are stisfied with the answer.

    Thanx. But pls describe what you are doing to download with Torrent...

    then I can understand da routine...

    Eg.

    if I want to download normal file, find the link & copy it & Open IDM (in my PC) & click 'add URL' & Paste da link...

    then choose the category & click 'Start Download' ...
    then small window appear & show da speed & percentage of D/Load...

    like this I want how to setup & D/Load with Torrent...

    1. In 64bit, the CPU can fill a 64bit register in one go. You will only see a performance gain in area where complex mathematics are used (eg: video rendering, encoding/decoding video, encryption, archiving, mathematical modeling), because the algorithms are simple to perform mathematical operations on large values (values larger than 2^32 for example).

    If you need a performance comparison; I used 32bit and 64bit 7-zip program decompress a 400MB+ cabinet file, which comes inside Acrobat Professional setup CD. In 32bit one, it took 2 minutes and 20 seconds. In 64bit one, it took 1 minute and 22 seconds, which is 70% faster. :)

    Also, now, Windows for example, can address more than 4GB RAM without using PAE (Physical Address Extension) In fact, 32bit Windows XP for example, can't even show more than 3.5GB more of the times, because the address space also includes memory for device drivers and video RAM.

    64bit OSes are more secure as well. This is not really because of the OS, but because a 64bit OS is required to unleash the hardware security features such as hardware based Data Execution Protection. Address Space Layout Randmonizer, a new feature in Vista is also available only in 64bit editions.

    Ok when u are using torrent to download things first you go to a torrent site. For example consider sites like www.isohunt.com or www.mininova.org. Then you can search for anything you are looking for like music, videos, films etc. The search results will be typically based on number of seeders and leachers available for the torrent you searched for. Then you can click on any torrent there and they will let you download the torrent file. Save this file somewhere and you can use you torrent client to open this file and as soon as u do this the client will start downloading the real file that you wanted.

    Can I use both 32Bit & 64Bit Softwares with 64Bit Mo/Board?
