A torrent file is related to peer-to-peer networks. Is not what you want, BUT 
is the means to obtain it.

emerge ctorrent.

Then, ctorrent yourfile.torrent

And wait. You will obtain the .iso files.

After downloading your dvds with your bittorrent client of choice (I
prefer Azureus, memory hog that it is), you will usually have to
extract them.  Typically, dvd images (isos) are compressed for better
data integrity into between 40 and 70 rar files.  You'd need the unrar
utility (emerge unrar) to extract them.  At that point, iirc, you
should be able to run unrar -x first archive file and you'll get
your iso.

Now load it up into k3b or your burning program of choice and burn!
