Could someone please provide an explanation of what a "Torrent to URL Link Download Service" is and where master nodes fit in? For some reason my brain can't grasp it. Thanks in advance.
Sure.
Increasingly, if you try to use a torrent service, then your internet service provider can block you. Also, seeders of torrent files can be unreliable and or contain viruses.
Torrent clients contain data that have information about something you might want to download.
If you find a file you want by using a torrent service, then there is a chance you won't be able to get the target file that the torrent is referencing.
By finding the torrent file and sending a request to a download link service, someone else is finding the file the torrent client is referencing, then making it available to you as a regular web download (no torrent client needed). This is more reliable but it can be a paid for service.
So, if you want a file and you have found it using a torrent client - get the torrent details, send it to master nodes. Others will match your request and generate a url download link. You pay a fee for the more reliable service.
By using master nodes, the url link can be served up with an encrypted url download and master nodes can help to decentralize and anonymize the url download provider.
