Python is a programing language.

It's the language that bittorrent was made in, you don't use it to get torrents or even need to have it installed to run bittorrent.

Just get the windows .exe (if you rock windows) and go to town.

Personally, I like bittornado, but there are a ton of clients out there.

I have never understood a fucking thing about the whole bit whatever stuff.

In a nutshell-

Someone makes a video (or whatever) and creates a "torrent" file. With the torrent file and a 'tracker' (which tracks where the file is available) your bittorrent program downloads data from other people, all the while uploading everything you previously downloaded.

So it's not file-sharing, it's file-swarming, because everyone is in a simulataneous upload/download of all the datum they've recieved. Once someone has completely downloaded a file, they can then 'seed' by leaving it open so people can continue to download the file they have.

As for how to use it... find a webpage that lists 'torrents' and click on the link, bittorrent will open and that's it.
