Torrents are a form of sharing files online. One person has a file, he makes a small "pointer" file named a torrent, and posts the torrent on the internet. Another person downloads the torrent, and uses a torrent program (like BitTorrent, BitLord, and so on) to open the .torrent file, and he downloads the file from the first person(the torrent file points to the file in the first person's PC).

Later when a 3rd person uses the torrent, he downloads from both the previous people. And so on...

Basically torrents are files that you download from other users like limewire or kaazaa. You can download almost any kind of file from music to movie files. Also like limewire most torrents are illegal to download. There are many clients such as bittorrent where you can search for files and then download them. Although most torrents are illegal some like some tv shows are not. Also some torrents require a fee to download them kind of like itunes. I hope any of this helped!
