Using Fragments on Linux<\/h2>\n
Fragments is a simple, easy-to-use BitTorrent client. To use it, start by launching it on the desktop. Then, you can launch the app by searching for it in the app menu. Once the program is open, find a torrent to download.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Download the torrent file to your computer. Then, click on the \u201c+\u201d icon with the mouse. When you select this button, a pop-up menu will appear on the screen. Using the pop-up window, select the torrent file you wish to use in Fragments.<\/p>\n
After selecting a torrent file in the pop-up window, Fragments will immediately start the download process. So sit back, and allow the app to finish downloading your torrent.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Open up the Linux file manager and select the \u201cDownloads\u201d folder when the download is complete. After selecting the \u201cDownloads\u201d folder, you\u2019ll be able to access your newly download file. Repeat this process to download as many items as you want in Fragments.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Delete a torrent<\/h3>\n
If you do not wish to keep seeding a torrent after it is downloaded, you do not have to. To remove a seeding torrent from the system, select the torrent with the mouse. After selecting the file with the mouse, click on the \u201ctrash can\u201d button.<\/p>\n
When you select the \u201ctrash can\u201d button, Fragments will bring up a pop-up menu. In this pop-up menu, it says, \u201cOnce removed, continuing the transfer will require the torrent file or magnet link.\u201d<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Click on the \u201cRemove\u201d button to remove it. If you also wish to remove the downloaded data, select the check box next to \u201cRemove the downloaded data.\u201d<\/p>\n
