to download torrents you need a bit torrent client. what this means is:
when you download a 'torrent' from a website, it's not actually the file, its just an address, like an address for a website. you then need a bit torrent client (like qbittorrent) to open the address. it's like how you need firefox to open a website, you need qbittorrent to open a torrent file. then, after it is downloaded, there will be a good chance that the file will be a .rar file or a .iso file. A .rar file will need to be decompressed with a software like 7-zip, and an .iso will need to be mounted. In Windows 10 you can mount an .iso file without any additional software, though in Vista you needed special software, and I don't remember what Windows 7 is like.
if you have any trouble, google "how to download a torrent" and read a couple websites until you understand, and be careful about downloading anything weird, the internet is full of viruses and tricksters. if you have trouble opening a file with a name like "diablo.rar" or "diablo.iso", just google "how to open a .rar file" or "how to open a .iso file". You can learn anything on Google and youtube with a little patience.
