Convert TORRENT to ZIP

Understanding torrent and zip file formats

A torrent file is a metadata file used by BitTorrent clients to download files from the internet. It contains information about the files to be downloaded, such as their names, sizes, and the location of the tracker. Torrents are not the actual files but rather a way to download them.

A zip file, on the other hand, is a compressed archive format that allows multiple files to be bundled together and reduced in size. This format is widely used for file compression and distribution.
