The BitTorrent protocol is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used for distributing large amounts of data. The big file is broken down into smaller parts and it automatically fetches parts from multiple hosts at once. It also shares the parts you've already downloaded with others, so that everybody shares and benefits.
The technology itself is perfectly legal, but it has been debated if its implementation in connection with copyrighted material or otherwise illegal material makes the issuer of the bittorrent file, as opposed to the copyrighted material itself, liable as an accomplice or infringer.

Here is how you can use BitTorrent in Ubuntu, starting in 10.04 (the instructions might change slightly in each release, but the basic idea is the same).
For this example, I'll be using the Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop ISO - but anything that has a .torrent extension will work following these instructions.
Open up a Web Browser (For more on what Web browsers are available for Ubuntu, take a look at this question,
Then, you'll need to download your
.torrent
file and save it to disk.If this is your first time running Transmission (the default BitTorrent client in Ubuntu) then you'll be confronted with the following box - think long and hard if you agree to it
Then you'll need to click the 'Open' button and navigate to your
.torrent
Sit back and relax while the torrent downloads.
After the download completes, it is often considered good etiquette to continue to seed the file until you reach a 1.00 ratio. Please be aware that if you have a monthly quota many ISPs count uploads against your total bandwidth.

A recent Federal Court of Australia judgement I read had a fantastic explanation of BitTorrent.

with 0 posters participatingBitTorrent joined the masses of legal video download services yesterday with offerings from five movie studios and a handful of TV networks. The service offers movie rentals for $2.99 to $3.99 and TV download-to-own episodes for $1.99 a pop through BitTorrent's already-existing P2P client. Ars took a look at the service on its first day to see how it measures up.
The way that the service works is a little different. Users browse movies and TV shows on BitTorrent's web site, and the site is has a smattering of useful tidbits on product pages, such as RSS feeds for each studio's movies, email-a-friend links, digg links, and del.icio.us links. Clearly BitTorrent is looking to make it easy to share this information with others and tap into recent trends.
Searching for movies and shows is simple. The site has a listing of genres down the left side for casual browsing, or the user can search for a specific title using the search box on the site. The files that are downloaded from BitTorrent's web site are just torrent files, which can be opened by any BitTorrent client on any platform—however, the movie files that are downloaded through the resulting torrent are DRMed Windows Media files (.WMV), which means that they can only be played under Windows.
The Oddity Bar
When a user signs up for the service, he or she enters a credit card and billing information so that purchases can be made quickly and seamlessly. However, when I went to purchase a movie (my first selection was Lady in the Water), BitTorrent refused to believe that I lived in the US, despite the fact that my IP geolocates to the Chicago area. Changing browsers did not alleviate the problem, despite my billing information stating otherwise. Trying to buy another movie (this time Nacho Libre) gave me the same results on two different computers, behind the same firewall. Download testing in Boston worked fine, but our nightmare experience was not over yet.
Trying to ferret out why BitTorrent would not allow me to download movies in Chicago, I tried to use my Mac. Somehow, despite the fact that my IP was still the same (behind the same firewall), BitTorrent all of the sudden decided that I was in the right country. Although the files cannot be played on a Mac, BitTorrent was happy to accept my money anyway and reminded me that I would only be able to play my movie in Windows. It remains a mystery as to why BitTorrent refused (and still refuses) to recognize my Windows PC.

I launched my BitTorrent client and got to downloading. Anyone who's familiar with BitTorrent knows that download speeds can vary a lot depending on how many people are seeding the file at any given time. During my tests, it appeared as if there was never any more than two or three people seeding any variety of files; my 993MB movie finished in roughly 47 minutes. My 244MB Chappelle Show download finished in 8 minutes. Speed was impressive, but not really any more so than you would expect with any other commercial service that presumably is using some kind of caching service like Akamai. If the big bonus here is supposed to be the speed, it's not a big deal in our experience.

I transferred Nacho Libre to my PC, eager to get my Jack Black fix for the day. However, as if it wasn't frustrating enough that I couldn't buy the movie under Windows, that was just the beginning of my day's troubles. Due to DRM restrictions, BitTorrent specifies that the files require Windows Media Player 10 or higher in order to play the files. I tried to open my protected .wmv file in WMP11, and was met with a curiously vague error message saying that there was a 'problem playing the file':
Attempts to open the file on another PC as well as upgrade WMP however I could were fruitless. This file was not opening. Determined to get something to open, I purchased another video from BitTorrent—this time, a TV episode. After completing the 485MB download (in about 25 minutes), I attempted to open it again with WMP11. This time, I was encouraged by the prompt to log in with my BitTorrent account in order to authorize the file.
Once I authorized, I thought I was on my way to video watching nirvana, but that was not the case. As it turns out, the file's usage rights were 'not yet valid,' according to WMP. Unfortunately, the file's properties were no more descriptive as to when the usage rights would become available.
In the end, two of my purchased videos never played. I even transferred the torrent files to the PC and re-downloaded them from there, suspecting that downloading them on the Mac was messing up the DRM somehow, but I still got the same errors. $5 and too many hours lost, I was media-less and frustrated. The buying experience was a good user experience, and assuming that most people don't experience the trials that I did, any average person could easily use that part of the service. But past that, the user could be delving into the unknown.
Two files did download and play properly, namely an episode of the Chappelle Show and a rental of Superman Returns. Quality between the two shows was markedly different. Chappelle was a tad bit fuzzy, but the sound was rich and superb. Superman Returns was of finer quality, at least with respects to the audio and video.

Without knowing whether browser compatibility and dysfunctional video files are a rare occurrence or not, it's hard to say whether BitTorrent's service is a good one overall. Our initial experiences have been disappointing and frustrating, and guess what the culprit is once again? DRM. Why the DRM failed to work on 50% of our purchases is not clear, but whatever the cause, it's simply unacceptable.
Of course DRM also renders the service somewhat useless, like all other video services that still do not support burning to DVD-playable formats. That aside, BitTorrent has a lot of work to do to improve the customer experience.
