    JTO. It's a way to download files.
    You need a program to download the torrent file.

    One of the most popular programs is at http://www.bittorrent.com

    "Bittorent is a method for delivering content more efficiently to a consumer that enables pieces of content to be simultaneously delivered from more than one distributor. BitTorrent is one of several peer-2-peer protocols."
