I need to know EXACTLY how to handle bit torrent stuff and unpacking rar and zip files. What little information I get is like "Navigate to the blah blah blah and click on the thing that doesn't exist." Can you explain it in terms so simple even I can understand?

RAR and ZIP files are files that have multiple files compressed down into them to save space and make downloading them faster. To use the files, you will need a decompression program. I recommend WinRAR, which you can download for free. (Google for it). The program will let you open either RAR or ZIP files and get all the files out of them.
Once you have done, you are on your own. A RAR or ZIP file can literally contain anything (a program, movie, pictures, etc.) So there is no standard thing to do from there. Sometimes the person who created the file will include a "readme" with further instructions.
If it is a program you downloaded, it will normally have either a setup file that you run to install the program, or a file with an ".exe" extension that you click to run the program.
Hope that helps.

The site below explains it pretty well. What you do is download the *.torrent file first. Then open it with your torrent handler (like Bit Torrent or uTorrent or whatever). You have to wait until it is 100% completed before you use it though. It puts all of the files in the place that you specified, but if you try to extract something, you get an error. What are you trying to open? Feel free to PM me.
