I just want to quickly jot down that a lot of torrents are delivered through “magnet links” instead of .torrent files. An example is Arch Linux which has both.

In most cases after you install a torrent client such as Qbittorrent, Deluge, Transmission or what have you, your system will automatically recognize magnet links and will offer to launch the software to handle it properly once you click it.
