And my answer is yes of course there is a way. We can convert http based direct download links into Torrents for easier downloading. Torrent files have the capability to pause and resume without breaking in between.

URLHash – Create torrents from direct http links

URLHash is an online service that creates torrent files from direct download links. Insert the file URL in URLHash, solve the captcha and press Create .torrent button. That’s all you have to do, and URLHash will take some time to create the torrent file for you. Here are a few restrictions for URLHash:

The http link should be a direct download link. There should be no redirection or authentication.The file size should be more than 10 MB.

Here is how to convert http links to torrents easily: Please note that if your file is large, it will take some time for urlhash to create the torrent link. The page will refresh itself multiple times until the torrent is created successfully. If the file torrent already exists in their database, the torrent file will be created instantly. Please note that the site only supports http and not on https secure connection. You may warn that the page opened is not secure. Just ignore it and open the page. As an example, I created a torrent file for Windows Server 2022 direct download link and it took at least 2 to 3 minutes to generate the link, because the ISO file size was 5.2 GB.

If you have used urlhash.com, you should have noticed that apart from the .torrent file link, you will receive the following additional information:

InfohashMD5SHA256

From there, infohash can be of interest to us as it can be used to create a magnet link out of the torrent file. Here’s how to create a magnet link from infohash: This will generate a magnet link that can be opened for any BitTorrent client to start downloading the file. The magnet link can be useful as you get a direct link to the torrent instead of downloading the torrent file.

Burnbit – A free tool to convert download links into torrents

Burnbit is a free online service which lets you “burn” your direct download links into torrent files. The meaning of burning the download link that the file is uploaded to the torrent servers first and then the user can use his or her torrent client to download the file from the torrent servers. Let’s go through the process step by step. That’s it. Once the file is turned into a torrent, you can use it anywhere. I find Burnbit service very effective and easy to use. The only issue I find here is that the user has to use the direct download links for any file to turn it into a torrent. If you don’t have the direct download link then it will not be converted.
