This Tutorial will teach you what a torrent is, how to download, make and use torrents.
Ok, lets get started then.
BitTorrent is a content distribution protocol that enables efficient software distribution and
peer-to-peer sharing of very large files, such as entire movies and TV shows, by enabling users to serve
as network redistribution points. Rather than having to send a download to each customer requesting it,
the distributor or holder of content sends it to one customer who in turn sends it to other customers who
together share the pieces of the download back and forth until everyone has the complete download.
This makes it possible for the original server to serve many requests for large files without requiring
immense amounts of bandwidth.
BitTorrent's protocol has been described as a "swarming, scatter and gather" file transfer protocol. It was
written in the Python programming language by Bram Cohen and is distributed freely under an open source license.

Part 2: Downloading and using torrents
The First thing you need to do is download a BitTorrent Client. Some Include UTorrent (My Favorite), BitComet and BitTorrent. Limewire will work too, but I haven't had the best of experiences with it. Now install the program of your choice, and click yes if/when it asks to associate .torrents files with itself.
The Next thing you need to do is to find a site that hosts .torrent files. Some popular ones are Demonoid.com and The Pirate Bay. (note Demonoid.com is Invite only, PM me for Invites)
Now to Download whatever you want. Go to one of the above sites (be careful with The Pirate Bay, always read the comments to avoid viruses), and search for something you want.
ex.
ok, so now we have our search in, select one that comes up.
CORRECTION: The Pink skull & Crossbones means "trusted"
Now that we have picked the torrent, lets read the comments before we do anything else.
Uhh oh, looks like no one is seeding (uploading) this one
This one looks a little more promising, the comments are good.
Now to check if anyone is uploading this one
Ok, it looks good
Now to download, it is very simple, just look for this...
END OF PART 2
Part 3, Using the torrent.
Now that we have the torrent, we need to open it with our program (UTorrent, BitTorrent ex.) It should look like this
Now double click on the file, and it should open the program automatically.
It should now look like this:
