@ G.Drew: You need to use a BitTorrent client application to download .torrent files. The 58k file you downloaded is used by a BitTorrent clients (I recomment http://www.utorrent.com ) to download the actual file.

uTorrent is only about 154kb in size so it is tiny but has lots of features. Open the 58kb .torrent file you downloaded earlier and uTorrent will do the rest.

I bet you that if you leave your torrent running overnight it will be ready when you wake up....

No, you can pause/stop/restart download at any time. When you restart, your Torrent client will check to see which chunks of the file you already have and will only download the missing chunks. It's very cool and is designed to download from multiple, untrusted, and unreliable connections/clients.
