Determining if a torrent is real or fake can give a heck of a headache. Using sites that you know and trust can give you general information as to the authenticity of the torrent.

Steps :

• Find a torrent of whatever you are looking for.
• Review any information given to you, such as the date uploaded, the file size, etc. For example, if something was released on April 10, but it was uploaded on March 14, it's probably a fake or a ripped version.
• Review any ratings or comments available to you. Others may have already confirmed it's status.
• Check for other sites linking to the torrent. The more sites, the more chance the torrent is real.
• If all else fails, you could download a section of the torrent and check it's quality. This may not work for movies and large file.

Warnings :

• If you download a torrent and the file points you to a website saying you need special software, do not download or install it.
• Don't run something on your computer unless you trust it. Think of it like a sandwich. Would you eat a random sandwich you find in a park?
• Do not download illegal material. If you do, the MPAA can track you down and sue you. For proof, simply look at the music industry.
