    You need a torrent client to download torrent files. It is just a diffrent peer2peer program which splits up a file in multipul parts so its easier and faster to download.

    A few clients are....

    uTorrent
    Azureus
    BitTorrent
    BitTornado

    and there are others.

    You will have to download 1 of those client programs above. Load the torrent into the client and it will then start downloading.

    Download link for uTorrent

    Download link for Azureus
