not sure about the strict definition of it, but basically it's a file 
(.torrent) that you download which is supposed to be a tracker for the 
file you are looking for. it then "tracks" those people who also have 
the file (and tracker) and then let's you download pieces from them. the 
more people who have the tracker, the more people you could download 
from. you need a client to for this.. the one i use on xp is utorrent. 
google it and you'll get tons of info.
