Downloading a torrent on mobile gives a similar experience as on a desktop or laptop. It has a vast database with almost every kind of file you might need. Torrent websites have a majority of pirated content, but there are several legal uses for torrents too.
Governments keep banning the majority of torrent sites now and then. However, there are still enough torrent sites that operate smoothly. I’ll give you a list of good torrent sites and the best way to download torrents on an Android device.

Disclaimer
We do not encourage anyone to download or torrent copyrighted content because it is illegal. You could also get into legal trouble if you download or share copyrighted content. Using a P2P networking system to download copyright-free content is legal, but downloading copyrighted content is not.
Use a VPN
Your Internet browsing activities are fully accessible to your Internet service providers. Your ISP can collect your data and sell it or hand it over to any third party. You might want to use a VPN to protect your data and make it inaccessible to anyone. If you plan on downloading or uploading torrent files, then using a VPN becomes more necessary than ever.
You can use ExpressVPN, one of the most reliable VPNs. It hides your ID, changes your IP address, and makes your device impenetrable to several types of malware and hackers.
What are the best torrent sites for you?
There are several private and public torrent sites available for you. You can download your favorite movies, TV shows, games, and music from these torrent sites. If you find these mainstream websites blocked by your Internet service provider, you can always access their mirrors or alternate websites.
Here is a list of some of the best torrent sites:
- The Pirate Bay,
- Kickass Torrents,
- RARBG,
- Zooqle,
- 1337x.

How to download a torrent file on an Android phone?
Android is one of the most open platforms. You can install apps from the Play Store, web, etc. It does not come as a surprise that you can also download and open torrents on an Android device.
To download any torrented file on your device, you have to install a torrent client on your phone. My recommendation is uTorrent, as it does not have ads and has a simple user interface.
However, if you want to explore more options, here is a list:
- Flud,
- LibreTorrent
- We Torrent
- BitTorrent,
- TorrDroid
- ZetaTorrent
- aTorrent.
To download uTorrent, you have to visit the Play Store and install it directly. You do not have to sideload it, find its.apk file, or mess with your phone’s OS.
After installing the uTorrent app from the Play Store, you have to grant permissions (location, access to media, photos, and files). After that, you have two options to search for the content you want to download:
- You can use the uTorrent app,
- You can use the web browser.
I recommend using the web browser, as it is easier and more reliable. You can visit any website from the list above to download a magnet or torrent file.
After you click on a magnet or download your torrent link, it will open in your uTorrent app and start downloading itself.
You can also use the uTorrent app to search for your torrent. It will give you a list of links that you can use to download the torrent. You can click on a link of your choice, and it will start downloading that file by itself.
You can find your downloaded files in your phone’s local storage. You do not have to open uTorrent to open the downloaded files.
You can also seed or upload parts of the downloaded file. The only reason you could download your favorite movie from a torrent is that other users had already seeded or uploaded it after downloading. You can also pay it forward by doing the same.
Also, once you finish downloading or uploading the content, you might want to stop uTorrent from running in the background. It will save RAM and battery.
Conclusion
Torrenting is a useful method to upload or download content, as long as you are not using copyrighted content. Several torrent clients are legal, and you can find them on the Play Store. Even if you are downloading legal content, you might want to use a VPN.
