Thread: Torrent2Exe – Convert Torrent Files To EXE and download without A client

With this freeware program, you don't need a BitTorrent client. Torrents2Exe convers a .torrent file to a stand alone exe.

Converting a .torrent file to exe is easy and involves only 1 mandatory step; you have to select the .torrent file you need converted (obviously). This can either reside on your hard disk or you can directly link to a torrent hosted online. Additionally, you can select the size of the generated exe (this and other advanced features are available only in ‘Convert Torrent’ page). There are two options; ‘Normal Size’ and ‘Small Size’. Exes generated under ‘Small Size’ option will be around 50kb in file size. These however will automatically download around 1MB additional components the first time a user executes it (this will be a fully automated one time download and will not be repeated for different exe files). Exes built under the ‘Normal Size’ option will be sized around 1.4MB – there will be no additional component downloads as the Torrent2Exe BitTorrent client will be embedded in the executable (You can even download the client separately, install it on your machine and download regular .torrent files with it).

As said above Torrent2Exe uses its own internal BitTorrent client for downloading and offers basic functionality such as seeding, setting min/max download and upload speeds, selecting the download location, pausing downloads, creating new torrents, hide to tray, DHT support and so on. All of these features are available even when downloading torrents in exe format. If you want you can exit the download altogether and restart it at later stage - downloading will resume from where it left off and won’t restart from scratch.

CAUTION: Using Torrents2Exe with .torrent files downloaded from private torrent trackers is not recommended. Torrent2Exe uses its internal BitTorrent client for downloading and this is most likely not an allowed client on private trackers. Additionally, most private sites prohibit sharing of .torrent files and you could end up getting banned if you distribute generated exes as this will essentially be you sharing your torrent with another party along with your unique passkey etc.

Personally I am not going to use it, but there could be situations where it might come in handy. When you are not allowed to install a Bittorrent client at your work for example. Anyone allready using it?

Indeed, I'll still keep using torrents but this could defenitely come in handy someday.
Thats for sure.

Thanks for this m8 :D

Shouldn't this be in the tutorial section??

This is great. Been looking for a way to download torrents at work, I work in IT department and they still dont let me install stuff on my own computer lol. So as a reward for their trust..... Im guna batter their bandwidth :)

It's fine here too Sam.
I suppose it's more of an informational thread than one requiring guidance.

Either way, good post!
I was unaware of this, and will likely use it in the future.
It's a shame that it won't work out well with private trackers.
Unless you gave it to just 1 person you trust.
Thanks!

as long as I can be useful ;)

This is very interesting. There has been many times I have wanted to send large files to family members that are not too computer savvy so I went with sites like yousendit and megaupload. But this will be much better as I could delete the torrent after they complete the download and not have to worry about it still being accessable. Thanks for the info!
