Okay, heads-up though:
Looks like the latest download for qBittorrent is giving a false positive for some users.
Might want to use the 4.3.6 version, if you want to be on the safest of all sides:

If someone is feeling really adventurous, let them know on their github: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues

Okay, so crash-course on Bittorrent for the newbies:
Bittorrent is a file-sharing protocol wherein a user can get a file from a swarm of users, all of whom are sharing the same file at once.
The advantage to this method is everyone in the swarm shared a piece of the file. So if the file is 10 gigabytes large, and you are sharing it, you might only upload 10 megabytes to any given user.
The more users seeding a swarm, the faster the downloads for users, and the greater the censorship-resistance.
To use bittorrent, you first download a .torrent file, which identifies the file you're looking for and connects you to the swarm.
You then open that .torrent file with your Bittorrent client.
This is a great, open-source bittorrent client for all platforms:

After you're done "leeching" the file from the swarm, you join the swarm and become a "seeder," reinforcing the strength of the network.
