Help with bit torrent download

Okay, maybe I didn't spell it right, but I need help on getting the bit torrent thing, so that I can download episodes to animes. Every time I want to download an anime, it comes up as a file or when it plays, no picture shows up, only the sound is all you can hear. Is there something I need to be able to watch them? How do you get the bit torrent thing?
Thank You,
Wolf

I believe this is a codec issue so it is moved to the Anime Support forum and people can help you from there. Please post in the correct forum next time.
