Bit Che: Find and download torrents without a browser
There are plenty of people that think the internet and the web are synonymous. They aren't. There are a number of ways to transfer data over the internet without firing up a web browser, ranging from email and FTP to the new kids on the block such as BitTorrent. And Bit Che is an application that lets you search for, download, and open Torrent files without a web browser. It's fast, simple, and works with your default BitTorrent client.
In a nutshell, once you fire up Bit Che, all you have to do is enter a query and hit the search button. It will search dozens of BitTorrent trackers including BTJunkie, NewTorrents, and ISOHunt for files matching your search terms. You can then either save the Torrent or open the file in your default BitTorrent client to begin downloading the file.
In other words, Bit Che is a lot like Torrent Magnifier, an application we covered last week. Except instead of opening a web page at the end, Bit Che opens the program you're actually going to use to download the file.
*Note: No illegal copies of a blockbuster movie were downloaded during the making of this article. That would be illegal and just plain wrong. Besides, it wouldn't be nearly as cool without 3D glasses.

Unfortunately, because of all the idiots out there that think it's funny, cool, or clever (insert your own adjective here) to upload bogus torrents, this program really isn't all that useful. One of the best thing about forum based torrent trackers is the ability to weed out the bogus torrents via user feedback.

Just because i did mention it i feel sort of obliged to reply...
As a way to download torrents its about 90% perfect. I generally do rely heavily on "comments" to verify a torrents quality/accuracy, but that only really crops up in very specific cases.
Specifically; when (hypothetically) downloading movies (which is entirely morally reprehensible...) i would first check out any new release at one of the many release (log) sites. Because they are both the first to know generally and they give a great indication of the quality.
And as to software - you can basically tell if its what its supposed to be based on what site has it.
So, once you know what to look for (e.g. avatar.dvdrip.XYZ) whatever pops up with sufficient seeds/leeches is gonna be real.
So just out of experience - it aint all that bad... (and while this is the second comment on the subject - no, i'm not affiliated :-)

My Internet provider firewalls the connection, so that I cannot use any software that use to download torrent files.Is it possible to download torrent files without these softs? And also, is it possible to download torrent files with Internet browser softwares? What should I do?
