Bit Torrent, what is it, how do I use it?

[Feydd]

OK for the past half year i've been hearing about this P2P program called bit torrent. I presonally have no experience with it, I don't even know how it really works. Could some one please explain to me what it is, and more importantly how to use it?

This is a very touchy subject here, but I'll tell you that if you want any information on it, Google will tell you.
