Once you get the link, you will need a BitTorrent software to open the file. Once the BitTorrent client scans the file, it will then locate the seeders sharing the corresponding file.
It does so by connecting to a list of defined trackers and attempt a direct connection. Upon successful connection, the final/actual content will then begin to transfer.
