Downloading Bit Torrent

Hello,
I have had my notebook for a few months now and still trying to get used to linux. Please could someone tell me in very simple not technical terms how to download bit torrent as I keep having problems. I love my machine but every so often wish i could go back to windows where everything is so much easier to do especially for someone who is not IT literate!
Many thanks

 

As root in a terminal window:

Code:

yum install transmission

 

Thanks for replying but what is 'root'?

 

The equivalent of "admin" on a Windows system. Assuming you're using Linpus, there's probably a way to do idownload and install new software through a graphical program (perhaps PackageKit or Pirut). Not sure what it is, and I don't have Linpus installed to check. Sorrry about that. Acer really should have gone with a standard Linux distribution and desktop -it wouldhavebeen mucheasier for noobies to get help
