Torrents are simply a file distribution method. You need a bit torrent client. Load the .torrent file you downloaded from the other site and your download should start.
I'd recommend
uTorrent.

NAME
buildtorrent - a torrent file creation program.
SYNOPSIS
buildtorrent [OPTIONS] -a announceurl input output
buildtorrent [OPTIONS] -a announceurl -f filelist -n name output
DESCRIPTION
buildtorrent is a torrent file creation program. Given an announce url and an input file or directory, buildtorrent generates an output
.torrent file that can be used by torrent clients.
OPTIONS
-a announce, --announce=url
Announce URL (required).
-f filelist, --filelist=filelist
A text file (or - for standard input) containing a list of files to add to the output torrent file, together with the path to use
inside the torrent. One file is given per line, use / as path separator for the torrent path, use | to separate the filesystem path
from the torrent path. Backslash can be used to escape newlines and | characters inside names. For example:
/data/files/linux.iso|bin/linux.iso
/data/files/linux.txt|doc/linux.txt
Using this option requires that the --name option be used.
-n name, --name=name
Specify the name for the torrent. Usage of this option is required when the --filelist option is used, in which case it specifies
the name of the torrent directory. Usage without a file list overrides the name of the directory or file given on the command line.
-A announces, --announcelist=announces
Additional announce URL list. Use , to separate outer level lists, and | to separate inner level items; for example:
a,b1|b2,c
-w webseeds, --webseeds=webseeds
Additional WebSeed URL list. Use , to separate items; for example:
a,b,c
-l length, --piecelength=length
Piece length in bytes (default 262144).
-L length, --piecesize=size
Use 2^size as piece length (default 18) (overrides -l ).
-c comment, --comment=comment
User comment (omitted by default).
-p private, --private=private
Private flag (either 0 or 1).
-D, --nodate
Omit the creation date field.
-C, --nocreator
Omit the created by field.
-m, --md5sum
Add an md5sum field for each file.
-s, --show
Show generated torrent structure.
-S, --showall

-q, --quiet
Quiet operation with reduced output.
-V, --version
Show the version string.
-h, --help
Show a help screen with brief usage information.
