download & install that
try opening the torrent file again
should open with utorrent, select what files to dl (usually has all highlighted) then click ok and it will start downloading
please note: if your ISP is virgin or sky they may cap your internet speeds if you download stuff via torrents
and hats the link to the torrent as it may not download due to lack of people seeding (uploading their copy so others can download)

There are various tweaks you can apply to utorrent to help things along..but it depends also a great deal on seeders and leechers.
Private trackers are 10 times better at maintaing the speed needed..for large files but as Matty said if its VM your with..they will let you download 1-2GB at a steady 10MB or whatever speed your BB is..then slash it to 2MB..for 5 hours.

The one your downloading andy is only the small one. the ms flight sim x with all the add ons was 23gig lol and only took a few hours to download and it was freeleech. I just downloaded trainz railroad sim which was 7 gig n only took 1 hour 39 minutes. Make sure the torrent has plenty of seeders as this will help your download.

You're best downloading at say 4 or 5 in the morning - I get about 30kb/s at this time of day for torrent download, but about 800kbs at that time of day.

Where you came from, is gone.
Where you thought you were going, was never there.
And where you're at right now, aint no good, unless you can get away from it.

Andy..that torrent will never finish with 0 seeders..what you are getting just now is different parts of the file..but without seeders youll never get it finished.
Think of it like a pack of cards..someone gives you all the spades and so many diamonds..cos thats all they have as well..but without someone with the whole deck no one can get the hearts,clubs and rest of the diamonds.
Okay maybe thats a crap analogy..but thats the way i understand it.
I'll find you one with plenty of seeders and PM you it.

i also get it 
and just because theres 0 seeders doesnt mean its not all available
peer A may have the 1st 50% and peer B may have the other 50%
its availability, not just seeders

thats a magnet link as used in Vuze (Azerus) ive never been able to make em work so no sue trying
as for availability,
right click the bar with the seeders/leechers etc etc and a list should pop up
when it does availability should be halfway down
then tell us what the availability is
