How do I download this? (expand for more information)

This is a torrent file, which means you will need a torrent client to download it. Here are some good torrent clients for various platforms:

After installing your torrent client you will be able to use the Open magnet link button to download the files in your torrent client.

What is a torrent?

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer network for sharing files. This torrent file does not actually contain the files listed below, instead it contains instructions for your torrent client to download the files from other people who happen to be downloading the same files currently. This means that instead of connecting to a single server (like pixeldrain), you will be connecting to other people on the internet to download these files.

Torrents are a highly efficient and free method of transferring files over the internet. Since the bandwidth is shared directly between users there is no need for expensive servers to host the files for you.

Is this safe?

Your torrent client will make sure that the files you receive from your peers are actually what they say it is. This makes it just as safe as any other form of downloading. Like always when downloading files you still need to be aware of what you are downloading. Don't just blindly trust any file anyone sends you.

Is it private?

When downloading a torrent file you will be part of the so-called 'torrent swarm'. Anyone in the swarm can see each other's IP addresses. This is not a bad thing on its own, but there a few cases in which this can be abused.

Anyone in the swarm will be able to see what you are downloading, even across different torrents. This is something to keep in mind when downloading torrents. If someone can link your IP address to your identity then there are ways to find out which files you have downloaded in the past (provided that your IP address has not changed since then).

If you are downloading copyrighted material (which I do not condone) then rightsholders will be able to see your IP address. In most cases this is not a problem because your ISP will still protect your identity. But there are some countries (notably the USA) where your ISP will not respect your right to privacy and the rightsholder will be able to contact you. If this worries you then you should look into VPN services to protect your privacy, like Mullvad.
