a torrent is a type of file that points to various other files. You need a special program to make sense of the torrent file. 2 popular torrent clients are bittorrent or azureus/vuze.
Azureuse recently 'upgraded' to vuze, and now its more like itunes with a bunch of link and junk on the start-up page. I don't really like it anymore, but i've never used bittorrent so i don't know if its any better.
for a better understanding,torrent is just like a "seed". before you start download files (i.e vids or songs) they will provide you a torrent file (.torrent). download the torrent,then start download your desired files through downloader.
