Hi. A torrent is a download program that connects you with many PCs at once to speed the download process. It starts out slow and as it finds more and more PCs with the data you are looking for the download speeds up, and becomes a 'torrent' of data.

A torrent is a file that points a BitTorrent program to where the files are located. I'd recommend using uTorrent for all your torrent-ing needs.
A torrent isn't the files you want to download.

A torrent is actually many different things. It is defined as a powerful directed force.
there are also computer related torrents called Bit-Torrents which has to do the peer-2-peer programs like (Limeware)and their engines.
If you are referring to torrent files... well your better off not using them and just deleting them. The use of them is very illegal

Bittorrent is a method of distributing files from computer to computer. The most common is file-server (you download from a website), but bittorrent uses peer-2-peer distribution. Which makes it very efficient for large and popular files.
Torrent files are used by bittorent enabled applications. The torrent file contains information on the file to download and where to find other peers to download from. To use torrents, get a bittorrent application like utorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/) and Azureus.

The person on the top doesn't know how to use the "internets."
Download BitComet and use the torrent with it. It's very simple. However, use caution when downloading. Some files are illegal, but some are not. Which are which? Your discretion.

A torrent is like a downpour. I don't know how you'd use one, but I would recommend an umbrella if you try...
