Download a torrent client like utorrent, find a site that holds torrents, search for what you want then download. Your client will do the rest.

I'm not sure if I can mention any sites for torrents here so just google it.

Any way to schedule torrent downloads to start at a particular time? I use Bit Comet btw. Are there any tools or schedulers to do this? Previously I'd use DAP for scheduling my downloads to start and end at pre set times. But I have no clue on whether its possible with torrents ... any suggestions?

Thanks!

This might help-

Smooth Program Scheduler - Automate Windows Programs - XemiComputers

Freeware scheduler. Starts up a program automatically and I think, shuts it down. Just set whatever torrent client you have to download and it should (I know utorrent does) start automatically.

I'd have given it a try before suggesting it but I don't really have the time.

Good luck.

Publisher description
his freeware will start any program you want at a scheduled time. It can perform both one-time and recurring tasks. However, there is more to Smooth Program Scheduler than just starting other programs. If some program is enabled with a control interface built under Scheduler's specification, then you will get additional control over that program. Two sound recorders, Claudio and Audio Notes Recorder, represent a good example for that collaboration. If you have one of those recorders on your computer then you will be able to make unattended recordings using Scheduler. In other words you get the opportunity to create a scheduled task that will launch the audio program, start recording from selected sound source, stop the recording at some point later in time and finally exit the program. For all those actions your presence won't be necessary at all.
edit in - I guess I don't really know all the features of utorrent, never really looked into it.
