Converting Torrent.
I am new to this and ask if it is possible to convert torrents to epub. When i try to convert I get a message: no suitable source format was found. Is there some way around this or are torrents unreadable.
Would appreciate any comments. |

Normally the Torrent is a "meta" file that is used by a BitTorrent client to download a file. You would have to get the file that HAS been obtained by a BitTorrent client, and convert that to ePub.
The file downloaded though could be any format though, so frankly, without knowing more it's hard to say. |

Also, jacking copyrighted books is a basically rotten thing to do.
