    You find a website with "torrent" files.
    You download these and load them into your torrent program.
    The download then starts. You will upload the bits of the file you have to other people at the same time.

    For example : http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/weekly/torrents/i386/
    Download a torrent from there and see what its like.
    There are a lot of torrent file sites. Some a lot more dubious than others.

    Bit torrent doesn't just give you naughty programs, it is also used to distribute open source, freeware and stuff people have generally made and want you to have! You all have dirty minds.
    Not around too often!

    Actually it's not warez. Bit Torrent is widely used as a download source for legitimate software such as games like Natural Selection to Operating Systems like Debian. It's only warez if he asks for a torrent containing the details to download warez so think before you post

    Someone posted a link near the beginning of the thread to a warez site, it's gone now though
