How do I download the bundle via torrent?

You can download all products from our bundles directly from your profile page, but you can also use Torrents to download the bundles. To download via Torrents you first need a Torrent Client on your computer. You can download different torrent clients, but here are a few that can be used with our site at the moment.

After installing one of these Torrent clients on your computer you can go to your profile page on Groupees and select Torrent on the bundle of your choice. A torrent file will now download, which you can save to a drive or open directly with your client. Either option will download the bundle to your computer.

When bundle has been changed (Groupees team added extra bonuses or updated version for any game file or other product), torrent file on you profile page is changed. In order to make use of it you should download new torrent file and overwrite the previous one on your computer, then run the file.

For information on how to use the torrent clients, please refer to the torrent client website.
