Try this faq first:
http://dessent.net/btfaq/
you need a torrent metafile. it is a wee text file that tells utorrent what to do. Get them here.
http://btjunkie.org/
http://www.isohunt.com/
http://thepiratebay.org/
People who have the full file and are uploading are called seeders. Downloaders are leechers. You can only get a file if there are seeders.
In utorrent, under file, click add torrent. Navigate to the metafile and click. Show where you want the torrent stored and utorrent will start downloading. If there are no seeders then you get no file.
Ignore the comments about trojans etc. Linux uses bit torrent to distro it's files. However if you are looking for 'cracked' software then there may be some trojans in there. Always scan such files. Music and films are usually clean.
Of course I never download films or music..........honest ;)
Hope this helps.

Utorrent is a p2p (peer to peer) file transfer program that utilizes torrents to facilitate file transfers. The system is based on sharing, the more people who share files the faster the downloads to others. And so individuals are tracked to ensure they have a good ratio of sharing (1:1) (which isnt done on other p2p networks). People who dont share are severely restricted or cut off permanently.
Active downloads of movies/tv series/music mp3's can be found on websites like http://www.torrentspy.com (which is the most popular). Chances are you will find the content you are looking for there. And as a final tip: do not download software programs as many of them are infected with polymorphic trojan viruses that 80% of scanners don't detect.
