Torrents explained
http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/introduction.html

That is the original site. You need a client for it to open .torrent files. Then the client will then go out and download said file. For linux, the red hat rpm is http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=BitTorrent and for debian testing or unstable

Or source tar.gz , zip or cvs
