sure thing
torrents are a kind of file. by downloading the torrent files, you get the music to your computer. you download them via a client. the best is utorrent if you're on a PC and transmission if you're on a mac (in my opinion).
you click download torrent and follow the simple directions (click OK, or something like that). You'll see a download bar in the client. You'll see a download speed. Don't be worried if this is small. It's taken me weeks to download files. This one should be pretty fast if you have a good connection though. You'll also see your upload speed. This is how quickly you are uploading, as you download.
Once you're done, you'll see that it says seeding. at this point, your files are all done downloading. However, you should keep the transfer open as a courtesy, because it speeds up the download for others; (your download was fast because others seeded for you).
but first things first, you need to download a program to open the torrent files.
it took me a while to understand at first, and i still don't get every technical nuance. if you have any issues, i could try to help, but there's a whole board of people helping with torrents here on ants, who are surely more helpful than i could be.
