a torrent is a "tracer" file for a p2p application.
You have to download "bittorrent", and download the tracer. When the tracer is downloaded it automatically begins to download the file from other users who have the file.
It's kind of like limewire in purpose, but different in functionality.

Torrent would be a program needed by the download before it is put down.

A torrent is a file that allows you to use BitTorrent peer to peer downloading software or a BitTorrent compatible software to download from multiple sources instead of having one dedicated
file server on the internet.
