You need to find a .torrent file or a magnet link . Magnet links are preferred as they are faster and don't require downloading a separate file; they simply tell uTorrent to grab the metadata from the swarm.

A common trick for movie downloaders is the fake movie file. You download a file that looks like a movie, but when you try to play it, it tells you to download a "special codec" or a new video player to view it.

Movies are data files ( .mp4 , .mkv , .avi ). They are not executable files ( .exe ). If you download a movie and the file ends in .exe , delete it immediately. It is a virus.

Before hitting "download," it is vital to understand what makes uTorrent different from a standard download. When you download a movie from a website, you are pulling a single file from a single server. When you use uTorrent (a BitTorrent client), you are joining a "swarm."

Click the magnet link or open the downloaded .torrent file. uTorrent will launch automatically.
