Torrents can be anything.
They are a way of downloading files (usually music, video etc.). You need a bit torrent client to download them.
I think most of them charge now but you might be able to find a free one, do a search for bit torrent.

There are various clients you can download for free off the net such as Bitlord or Azurues. I use Azureus which can be downloaded from azureus.sourceforge.net. Be warned bit torrent clients upload to other people while you are downloading so if you have a download limitation on your internet service this can be used up quickly. Also the download speed is prehistorically slow (one 600mb file two days solid to download!)
