The development of these technologies means that .torrent files are pretty redundant now. As such, while the Pirate Bay has offered magnet links for some time, the site has now made them the default option for downloading. In a month's time, the .torrent links will be removed entirely.
It's worth noting that .torrent files will never disappear entirely. One person needs to use a .torrent for each new file to inject crucial information about a download into the "swarm" of people downloading. For most practical purposes, though, and for most users, they'll soon become a thing of the past.

The .torrent file contains an X.509 certificate from the publisher. The private key part of the certificate can be used to sign peer certificates to grant them access to the torrent. This would typically only be possible to do by the original publisher.
If a peer find an X.509 certificate in the torrent file, it will require a signed certificate from the publisher, and it will require all peers connecting to that torrent presenting a valid and signed certificate in the SSL handshake. Signed by the holder of the certificate in the .torrent file, which acts as a root CA (the only root CA in fact) and all certificates only using a single hop to the root.
First, we need to generate a .torrent metainfo file from the source file(s), in this step, the souce file(s) will be split into pieces with size of 512K-1M, and hashed with SHA-1, these hashes, the tracker, the file name(s) and other information will be collected into the generated .torrent file.
After we get a .torrent metainfo file, we need to distribute it to others so that they can download and share source files as per the metainfo in .torrent file. There are many ways to distribute the .torrrent file, like sending via email, hosted on a web server, etc. Most of the time, we will publish the .torrent file to some web server so that other peers can download it by clicking the link.
When some peer get the .torrent file, it can start to download or upload(sharing) the source files as per metainfo in the .torrent file, each peer needs to connect to the tracker(whose address can be retrieved from .torrent file) to get available peers to interact with, they send handshake, messages, and other packets to tracker to notify and receive corresponding states or events from each peer, more details can be found in the Reference part, I will not elaborate it here.
We start a Tracker at localhost first, then we decide to publish a movie, so we use Torrent class to create a .torrent metainfo file to the movie and announce it to the tracker. After that, we need to start a Client(which works as a peer) which will serve as the initial seeder to share the movie. To make a Client to work as the initial seeder, we need to use SharedTorrent(torrent, parent, seeder) constructor and make seeder=true to create a SharedTorrent instance for Client to use. At the end, call seeder.share to kick off the sharing.
According to TorrentFreak, the decision to drop support for the Torrent was decided a couple of years ago but it has taken until 2012 for the website to move to an alternative linking structure. It argued that Bittorrent trackers had been made irrelevant with the introduction of technologies like DHT and PEX.
BitTorrent v2 is intended to work seamlessly with previous versions of the BitTorrent protocol. The main reason for the update was that the old cryptographic hash function, SHA-1 is no longer considered safe from malicious attacks by the developers, and as such, v2 uses SHA-256. To ensure backwards compatibility, the v2 .torrent file format supports a hybrid mode where the torrents are hashed through both the new method and the old method, with the intent that the files will be shared with peers on both v1 and v2 swarms. Another update to the specification is adding a hash tree to speed up time from adding a torrent to downloading files, and to allow more granular checks for file corruption. In addition, each file is now hashed individually, enabling files in the swarm to be deduplicated, so that if multiple torrents include the same files, but seeders are only seeding the file from some, downloaders of the other torrents can still download the file. Magnet links for v2 also support a hybrid mode to ensure support for legacy clients.[13]
The BitTorrent protocol provides no way to index torrent files. As a result, a comparatively small number of websites have hosted a large majority of torrents, many linking to copyrighted works without the authorization of copyright holders, rendering those sites especially vulnerable to lawsuits.[16] A BitTorrent index is a "list of .torrent files, which typically includes descriptions" and information about the torrent's content.[17] Several types of websites support the discovery and distribution of data on the BitTorrent network. Public torrent-hosting sites such as The Pirate Bay allow users to search and download from their collection of torrent files. Users can typically also upload torrent files for content they wish to distribute. Often, these sites also run BitTorrent trackers for their hosted torrent files, but these two functions are not mutually dependent: a torrent file could be hosted on one site and tracked by another unrelated site. Private host/tracker sites operate like public ones except that they may restrict access to registered users and may also keep track of the amount of data each user uploads and downloads, in an attempt to reduce "leeching".
The Tribler BitTorrent client was among the first to incorporate built-in search capabilities. With Tribler, users can find .torrent files held by random peers and taste buddies.[18] It adds such an ability to the BitTorrent protocol using a gossip protocol, somewhat similar to the eXeem network which was shut down in 2005. The software includes the ability to recommend content as well. After a dozen downloads, the Tribler software can roughly estimate the download taste of the user, and recommend additional content.[19]
At any time the user can search into that Torrent Collection list for a certain torrent and sort the list by categories. When the user chooses to download a torrent from that list, the .torrent file is automatically searched for (by info-hash value) in the DHT Network and when found it is downloaded by the querying client which can after that create and initiate a downloading task.
By convention, the name of a torrent file has the suffix .torrent. Torrent files use the Bencode file format, and contain an "announce" section, which specifies the URL of the tracker, and an "info" section, containing (suggested) names for the files, their lengths, the piece length used, and a SHA-1 hash code for each piece, all of which are used by clients to verify the integrity of the data they receive. Though SHA-1 has shown signs of cryptographic weakness, Bram Cohen did not initially consider the risk big enough for a backward incompatible change to, for example, SHA-3. As of BitTorrent v2 the hash function has been updated to SHA-256.[29]
In the United States, more than 200,000 lawsuits have been filed for copyright infringement on BitTorrent since 2010.[112] In the United Kingdom, on 30 April 2012, the High Court of Justice ordered five ISPs to block The Pirate Bay.[113]
