do I have this right? picture as if describing to a 4th grader...
You download a client such a uTorrent. Go to a website like thepiratebay.org. Download the torrent file. The client takes the torrent and interprets it. The client then connects you to a swarm of people with the files you want. You then receive the files collectively from everyone seeding. When you download, you are a leecher. When you distribute, you are a seeder. More seeders = faster download times, and vise versa.
is that a fair torrents 101 description? did I miss anything really important?
