Okay, Iguess told me about Bittorrents but I don't understand it.
He gave me the links but they don't function.
How does it work?
What do I do when I have downloaded a torrent? Must I use another programme to make it usable?
Is it a safe programme?
Oh, and can someone give me functioning links?

Okay, to download the torrents, you need an application like uTorrent or BitTorrent. After you have that, you search sites like isohunt.com or mininova.org to find what you want to download. You download a .torrent file of that onto your computer. From there, you open said application, select the .torrent file, pick where you want it to download to, and then you wait. That's about it...

I don't get it. So I go to isohunt.com and I'm looking for a picture of pie. I download the torrents from that file and then open it in bittorrent for it to download.
I'm NOT smart when it comes to those things

What you have to understand is that the .torrent file is not the file you want itself. It is just a very small file that tells your application (like BitTorrent) where to get the file that you want.

Download and install BitTorrent, download .torrent files, drag .torrent files into BitTorrent, then vlow-la!
Same exact method with Mac OS X.
