What exactly don't you understand?
Bittorrent is to upload and download massive files. (I've accessed entire seasons of "A Bit of Fry & Laurie" that way, since it's not available in the US.) and I believe a number of non-US people on the boards here access their new "House" episodes the same way.

The wikipedia explanation is here:

You typically also have to have Divx downloaded on your system to actually play the file.

You may find that you the file gets downloaded to a 'downloaded torrents folder' as a default if you don't modify that at set up. To avoid crawling around your pc maze just do a file search.
