torrents are like soulseek/kazaa/limewire/p2p but better. basically, it downloads from a bunch of people at the same time, so its more reliable. you need to find torrent files, download them, and then in your torrenty program thing (such as Azureus) theyll slowly appear. an advantage over say, soulseek, is that when you search, you search the whole internet, not just people who are on soulseek. kinda.
