    IDX is used by all sorts of programs, what software is it you're downloading?

    Think of bit torrent as a glorified peer to peer system. Whilst it is not P2P software, as far as the end user concerned it's a similar process. You download a .torrent file telling the client where to get the files from and it grabs them off of various people's computers by communicating with a tracker, such as thepiratebay (who I'm sure you'll have heard of).
    To get started, download uTorrent and then get your torrent file from your site of choice. I won't link you to specific sites as that wouldn't be lawful for downloading cooledit.
