/t/ are being pricks, don't worry about it. I don't have time to type up a whole tutorial, but find and download a program called Azureus. A lot of people will recommend another called uTorrent, which is easier on the system resources and older PCs. But since you have a fairly new one, Azureus is more more user-friendly.
Anyway, install it. Go to, for a start, isohunt.com and search for something that interests you. You'll notice it gives you a count on the right for how many Seeders and Leechers there are. Seeders are people who have the whole file and are only uploading. Leechers are those who are still downloading, and also uploading. Generally speaking a torrent with more Seeders will net you better speeds, but not always. In any case, if there isn't at least one Seeder, you won't be able to complete the torrent.
Once you're finished with the download, you'll become a Seeder yourself and give back to other people such as yourself who are now downloading. You CAN stop the torrent as soon as it finished and not upload, but that's called a Hit-and-Run and is considered bad decorum.
You'll probably run into one or two minor technical snags in the way, but worry not. Just ask somewhere friendly and you'll get an answer.
