✔ Best Answer

You need to install a program that can handle torrent files. There are a lot of free BitTorrent clients in the internet. See here: Comparison of BitTorrent clients When downloaded and installed a BitTorrent client, a doubleclick on a torrent file should automatically open your BitTorrent client program and insert the download link.

You didn't download the book, you downloaded the torrent file that allows you to download the book. This explains how it works: http://www.wtata.com/faq/ As stated above by paulsep, you need a bittorrent client. I recommend utorrent: http://www.utorrent.com/

Thans jam and paulsep, I too needed your advices. Please, one more info: is a static IP required to operate a bittorrent client or does a dynamic one suffice? My ISP assigns dynamic IP addresses and to get a static one you need to pay an extra charge.

You don't need a static ip address. You're fine.

You may also want to download and install a program called "Peer Guardian" or similar cover your as* software. Peer Guardian will prevent you from downloading fake files and connecting to sites that are monitored by Government trackers. Create a separate..IE C:\torrents. Place any downloaded files into a separate directory. Setup you client to download any torrent (programs) into that directory. Always scan the files in that directory for malware ,trojans and virus before opening. Happy downloading.
