^ Torrents; you need to install a free program (called a client program) on your PC. I use ABC, others use Azereus or uTorrent. All do the same thing broadly speaking. Google will find you one to download for free.
Next, download the torrent you want - example, at MouseBits, goto the `torrent` menu, or list, and right click to save the torrent name you want. This then downloads the torrent file, a very small file only a few k in size, which one you have saved it and clicked on it will open and tell the client program where to download the actual media file from - this could be several computers anywhere in the world. Downloading from several PCs helps manage the flow of data and spreads the load evenly. Think of it as a private file-sharing network, but one where you can`t browse other users collections. This is how MouseBits manages not to allow available-to-buy media to be shared. You can only download what was uploaded and approved by the moderators.
