This term refers to a search query used to locate the 2011 thriller film Limitless in a downloadable format via peer-to-peer file sharing. The “filetype:torrent” specification restricts search results to torrent files, which are small metadata files used by BitTorrent clients to connect to other users and download the actual movie content. This method of file sharing distributes the download across multiple sources, potentially leading to faster download speeds.
Torrent files have played a significant role in online file distribution, particularly for larger files like movies. While offering potential speed advantages, the decentralized nature of torrenting raises legal and security concerns depending on the copyrighted status of the shared content and the potential for malware within downloaded files. Users seeking content through this method should exercise caution and ensure they are obtaining it from reputable sources.
