Well, it all depends on what your downloading. For legally disributed files, the site should have the torrent file. Download a client such as bitcomet. Download the torrent. Open the torrent and bitcomet will offer a prompt. Adjust the options as you wish, and there you go, the file will start to be downloaded and will also distribute itself.

To add to Stuey83's comments, you'll need set your torrent client to use specific ports, and allow them in your firewall, otherwise your download speeds will be curtailed. Torrents work on the principle that you share the data you've downloaded, and you can't do that if you havent configured the client and firewall.
