You need a bittorrent client to open a torrent file. I like http://www.bittornado.com/.
So you download the torrent through this program and then you have what you want.
Thats just a quick way of explaining it...

a .torrent file contains the information of what is called a swarm.
A swarm is a group of seeders and leechers.
seeders are people that have the entire file.
leechers are people downloading the file.
When you download a .torrent file, it will automatically open in your bittorrent client. For this I would recommend utorrent or azureus. Once the torrent file is loaded into the client, you will join the swarm that I defined above as a leecher. Once you are connected you will start to download many pieces of the file from many different people. After a while you will have the entire file your trying to download. Think of a .torrent file as directions to get the real file for you bittorrent client.
It seems difficult, but once you catch on it is easy as pie.
I sent you a pm.
peace
