Bit Torrent is a protocol for file sharing...
In order to use it, you need 2 pieces:
1) A client program on your PC that will let you share files, and
2) A tracker to "find stuff"
After you find what you would like to download, by opening a bittorrent link, your client program will download and share the file automatically...

A torrent is a piece of software which allowes people to download in a kind of network on the internet where they download straight from the uploaders PC.
a file cannot be a torrent unless that is the actual thing you are running.
Too bad you dont have vista i could help you a lot then.

BitTorrent is a file sharing protocol that lets you download files (software, music, etc) from other people online, but without a central server like Kazaa--in other words, it's peer-to-peer. You downloads parts of the file from everyone on the system who has it, and when you get a file via BitTorrent, you should stay online so others can get that file from you. You need client software to use it. Read about it below.
