A torrent sac works on the principle of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing. When a user downloads a file using a torrent sac, they become a "seed" or "peer" in the network. They then connect to other peers who have already downloaded part of the file and begin downloading the remaining pieces.
As more peers join the network, the download speed increases, as each peer contributes their own bandwidth to the distribution of the file. This allows users to download large files, such as game updates and patches, much faster than they could through traditional download methods.
