How to associate .torrent files in windows with a web-based torrent system

    As you all know, .torrent files are files used with the BitTorrent P2P Protocol, and hold the metadata needed to start the file transfer. However, there is no built-in torrent software with windows, so users must either get a torrent program (such as BitTorrent) or use a web-based service (such as BitLet.org, the website used in this instructable). However, the downloaded torrent programs can be, well, "contraband" in some places, and web-based services often require some human input. If only the web-based torrent services had the automation of the downloaded programs... Well, look no further! This instructable will show you how to associate .torrent files with a web-based torrent service. For this instructable, we will be using Bitlet.org, a simple java-based torrent applet.
