You can also download a file by pasting the torrent URL near the top of the window. Deluge is a free torrent client for Linux operating systems, and more and more Chromebooks can install desktop Linux applications.

Close the terminal once the installation is complete. Select your username on the left, then double click the torrent file you copied to the Linux folder. You can also download the torrent by URL. The torrent will start downloading. No matter which method you use to download a torrent, remember to be safe.

While Chromebooks are more secure than Windows or macOS computers, downloading a file from a shady site is never a good idea. With that in mind, happy downloading!

Most Chromebooks these days support Android apps, although on older devices you may need to enable them by updating your OS and going to.

Now that you have access to Google Play Store's expansive selection of apps, it's time to choose the right VPN for you. We recommend ExpressVPN as it's fast, reliable, and secure. These can be downloaded and installed for free, but you will need to subscribe to them via an in-app purchase. Looking for a free option? While free VPNs do exist , we do not recommend them for torrenting because they are both restrictive on data allowance and can be questionable with privacy.

After all, there are many cowboys out there in the land of Android. Most do, and in doing so, they shield their users from copyright enforcers. Once you have chosen your VPN, you simply need to install it onto your device, launch the app and choose a server.

Top Tip: For faster torrenting choose a server closer to your real location. These tend to be faster than those further away.

They are particularly useful for torrenters because they often leave their computers downloading and seeding unattended for hours at a time. And a VPN dropout during that time can leave you very exposed! Kill switches are usually enabled manually in your VPN app but are sometimes transparently built-in. Unfortunately, many Android VPN apps lack a kill switch.

If one isn't, then either change provider or you can configure the OpenVPN for Android app to act as a kill switch as so:. You now have an OpenVPN kill switch for Android, perfect for keeping your torrenting sessions private. It also supports port forwarding, if this is important to you we cover this later in step 8.

If you are not sure where to look, Google or better yet, DuckDuckGo can help. Once there, you can browse or search for the content you want. This can be movies, TV shows, music tracks and albums, games, apps, eBooks, and more. If it's digital, then you can torrent it. Many BitTorrent clients have a built-in search function, but visiting a torrent site provides much more information about the torrents, making it easier to find high-quality content.

Top Tip: Check out our torrenting safely guide to make sure you know what to look for when picking a torrent to download. Installing a good adblocker also wouldn't be a bad idea.

Once you have found the content you want, click on its Magnet link or download its torrent file. Once you click on a Magnet link or download a. Please note: If downloading a. It varies a bit by BitTorrent app, but most apps will ask where you want the torrent downloaded to.

The torrent will then start downloading. Top tip: For video content, we highly recommend the VLC for Android app, which is designed to play any file you can throw at it on a Chromebook. It is considered good netiquette to seed torrents you have downloaded so that other users can also download them - sometimes even a requirement in certain communities.

To do this, simply leave the torrent running in your BitTorent app after you have finished downloading it. For torrents obtained from public torrent sites, a seed ratio of is usually considered sufficient. That is, you have seeded uploaded as much of the torrent data as you have downloaded. Private torrent sites often demand much higher seed ratios. Keep in mind that the Peers tab of your BitTorrent client provides graphic evidence about why you need to use a VPN when torrenting.

It shows you the IP address of every other torrent user who is sharing downloading or seeding a file. I also cannot create a partition in the unallocated space. There is a workaround posted at the link above, which I might try! Workaround above doesn't work. The Lexar program BootIt doesn't even see the removable drive, again, presumably, because the drive is not useable in Windows once the Chrome image has been written to it. Really want to try this! What types of internet connections will it work with at this stage?

Hear people have problems with wifi. What about 3g modems? Those of you that got it to work, was it only with wired connections? Definatly the OS of the future for netbooks!!! Even the XP run like a 90 year-old granpa in the marathon And you have the chance to have a blue screen.

I use Ubuntu 9. I definatly give my vote to this OS. Well done Google you shut the mouth of Bill Gates and his useless Windows 7. Power to free OS!!!!

Also very nice post!!! Very exciting, but before I try: is there any chance this will work with my internal 3g modem on my Aspire one?

That is my only Internet connection right now. I guess I would have to be very lucky to make that work since people don't even get wifi to work? Anybody knows anything about this? The app that came with the pre-installed win xp for the 3g modem is called globetrotter connect. I can see the utility of this OS for running the likes of a cheap sub-PC-type machine like the old Psion Organisers or such like, but i'm not sure about running it on a netbook - seems like an exercise in 'how to disable as many of your netbook's features as possible, leaving you with just the very basics so you spent all that money for nothing'.

Jorge, well done! Presumably bring up a command window and Need to set ip, subnet mask, gateway and DNS. Please help! I was able to load Android too! Thank you! I would like that kind on thinstation :. I've just starting playing with this OS tonight. This from an USB stick. Not bad at all. Wireless networking does'nt seem to work but I can live with that for at while.

Then again I did not try hard to make it work Looking so much forward to get it on a SSD drive. Thanx for the torrent. I feel kinda retarded right now. I'm a tech that can't log in to this! I type in chromium and gmail. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the information that you have provided. I also installed in a VirtualBox.

It is fairly straight-forward as Jorge pointed out. I have tried it booted off a pen drive too. But, I already have a browser on my laptop and Linux boots there in 8 seconds!

I can see non-technical computer use of Google Chromium OS with a handheld device or a green netbook non-techie. Local disk storage and non-browser applications are absolutely essential to software developers. I guess that I am atypical for this type of OS.

What about computer games that are not cloud-based? There are s of Linux and Windows games now that people use. Wait for browser-based equivalents running on the cloud? Another potential roadblock: cloud-based storage. There is a perhaps a somewhat irrational fear of storing the 'family jewels' on a cloud, however protected it may seem to be.

I suppose one could keep this type of data on a local pen drive or portable USB hard drive if you are traveling but how would I access a spreadsheet, for example? Maybe I answered my own questions about data protection. Thank you very much for this. I've got an Acer Aspire One A and it works very well, and is fast too! Thank you. Still a lot of work to be done. Google is starting to fall down the trap Microsoft fell into in thinking people will follow enmass if they have enough incentive and if they don't - then sideline the buggers.

Googles paypacket rests on people going online Microsofts paypacket rests on people buying their offline products.

This is another attempt by Google to step into Microsofts castle but most people who use a netbook don't use it solely for online services and the cloud and Google are irrelevent in that respect. I don't think people are picking up on the fact you need a good broadband connection to use this software.

The point of a netbook is its extreme portability; I use my netbook in the depths of the countryside where a weak GPRS signal often has to suffice. I also use offline software like OpenOffice and will store browsed information for later use when there is no signal. To my mind the 'everything is in the cloud' concept has a fatal flaw, in that a netbook has to be able to run 'standalone'. I downloaded it and installed on USB drive. But when I reboot and try to boot from the pen drive, it says 'Boot Error' Do I need to try writing again?

If not, you can get all sorts of boot errors. The dd utility happily wrote a boot image into that volume. Anyone else experiencing a slow trackpad? I have tweaked it using the OS properties and it is still slow. The trackpad issue is due to a bug, we are working on it. Is there a way to update a build that lives on a USB drive? If I replace the disk image, are all my personal settings saved i the cloud?

If I install a build from that source, what will I have and what will I lose? I have tried two different images, both from Hexxeh. So far, I haven't had any unexpected problems that aren't covered somewhere on the net.

It takes several minutes to acquire my AP, but that has already been discussed. It doesn't load any drivers for my Intel GMA graphics, but does display at x with no problem. My native resolution, using GMA drivers, is x I don't know if the video driver issue is causing this, but everything I do with the mouse and keyboard is in slow motion.

If I type in a URL into the browser, I have to wait a couple seconds for my characters to appear in the address bar. Using the terminal, my typed characters appear onscreen seconds after I typed them.

Clicking various GUI elements also have the same delayed effect as the above input from the keyboard. I'm having fun exploring this latest cutting edge OS.

Does anybody know how to change the keyboard layout? I assume that it would require building my own disk image, since the system is read-only after install. Entering username 'chronos' auto-expands to ' [email protected] ' but login fails Incorrect username or password. No WiFi, but hardwire Ethernet seems to work. Can't get past that due to the login problem. But I'm not giving up yet! Using Actually I did. I downloaded chrome-os I tried 'installing it' twice now, testing also on an Acer Aspire One with the same result.

Hi, thanks for the guide! I tried to boot my usbdevice on my Asus Eee PC but It gets stuck showing 'chromium os' on a blue background, no login fields. Is it a hardware problem perhaps? Any idea of how to get past it? I have one hell of a question for the guy who put up the torrent. How do you compress an image file of roughly 3 GB into a zipped file of roughly MB.

Are the setup files that highly compressible types or is it some secret compression technique that you used for it. Good article and worth comments. For some people it could be annoying, techies like me. I was expecting more than just a browsers with Chrome OS. Abhishek you are quite fast in the web. Any way you've chosen a best place to publish your site url. Its needs a media player, music and video is a huge part of waht alot of people do with their computers, laptops etc.

I used the Vmware Image, now the OS boots, and logins, but No internet access, how to configure that, I can use a direct ip of a proxy, but dont know where to put in the configurations :. Xander installer was fine on w7 for me, think it might need to be readable by windows though, try formating the flash drive as fat32 first. Tried compatibility modes vista,xp and as Admin Thanks for posting this! After I entered the key for my wireless router, it's connected smoothly to the internet every time.

One question: how can we trust that when we type our Google credentials into an image that you made that you're not sniffing them and sending them to Russian spam bots? SL Trust is always something given, it cannot be demanded or proven. I have successfully compiled the ChromeOS and then converted the image to vdi and used it in my VirtualBox. So, it works like a live CD. And no installation is needed - It just comes up. And there is nothing other than the browser! So, I don't know why it should occupy so much space, just to bring up the browser.

If ChromeOS is having nothing other than the browser, then we can have the same browser on any other OS. What is there other than browser in Chrome OS!? I don't see any development tools such as a terminal, compiler, etc. In that case, how to use this OS for development? I just tried it and was somewhat unimpressed. I don't see the utility of this project when there are plenty of full-blown Linux OS's that can run off of a flash drive, unless they are trying to compete with Splashtop-like features on laptops where you don't have to boot into the real os but still do basic web surfing.

If you can only use it when you are connected to the internet, what's the point, if they cannot expand it beyond a simple cloud OS then I don't see this being a very successful venture.

However, Google may give the open source community valuable publicity and help the average user see Linux in a more favorable light. What would be really cool is if they could make this distro bootable to small devices like phones and tablets like the nokia n and provide a full featured web experience without high resource usage.

I take it all back; I am using ChromiumOS on my wife's Asus eee hd and it is awesome, I can actually stand to use the thing; it does all you really need from a netbook. But after i formatted,it shows only mb! Chrome OS eat my space.. Any how to recover..? Installed per directions worked fine on my new ha but the wireless doesn't work, so there is basically nothing I can do with it. Installed onto an 8gb SDHC card. I ran the chromeos-installer but it doesn't boot of the SSD once I'm done.

Am I missing a step setting a partition active or something?
