TORRENT is a file for peer-to-peer sharing technology called BitTorrent.

This Metadata also has a list of the network locations of trackers, which are computers that help participants in the distribution system find each other and form groups known asswarms. A Torrent File is named with the extension .torrent.
A TORRENT file does not hold the content to be distributed; it only contains information about those files, such as their names, sizes, folder structure, etc . There are two types of people involved in this distribution system; Leechers and Seeders. Seeders are the one who let you download a particular file with a certain downloading speed. Leechers are the other people in your system that are downloading the same file which you are. Having more seeders then leechers always have helps in this system.

Look for those websites with better seed proportion for faster downloads or else it will take you longer for downloading files. Look for the format of the files you want to download. Go for the ones’ you know how to extract or are at least familiar with them.
Once the client software is downloaded, the torrent file will be downloadable after a double click in a minute or so.
