I understand what you are asking, and it goes like this. What you have downloaded is only a redirect. You cannot DL these files without installing Bit Torrent. after you install BT and run the extraction, then the actuall DL will start. It may be slow when you first start out but the speed will increase as you upload more. BT is more stable than a normal DL and you are much less likely to recieved damaged files even on an unstable network. BT uses your untapped upload bandwidth to pass other files to other users; a bandwidth sharing program much like the processer sharing program Seti@Home.
