go to utorrent.com and download the program

a torrent is basically a link to another persons files
there are two types of people: seeders and leechers

seeders are good - once they eventually get the download finished, they keep it in their torrent menu (and don't delete the torrent file), which gives others the oppurtunity to download the torrent

leechers aren't really BAD, they just don't allow others to download the torrent - leechers are basically people who are also downloading the torrent at the same time as you - once they finish the download, they then become seeders


to use utorrent, it's actually very easy:
1. open utorrent
2. go to the bottom right of the start tool bar
3. double click utorrent icon (green square with white u in it)
4. go to top left of utorrent
5. click add torrent, and browse for wherever you saved the torrent from whatever site
6. wait

It's file sharing. You download a torrent file in a program like utorrent and it allows you to download and upload the files for the torrent from and to other people.
