1. First Download Torrent file from any of the torrent webiste like mininova.org.
2. Download a torrent client like uTorrent, or bitTorrent and many others like this.
3. open, .torrent file that you downloaded form torrent webiste , in the torrent client uTorrent.
4. Now wait as much time it take to download the original file and after that enjoy you download.

Note: Download only those torrent files those have many seeders and peers (swarms) associated with it otherwise u will get very slow download speed or either no downloading speed at all.
