I believe this has been asked around many times but in case you can't find a thread similar to your question:

To download a torrent, simply click on the link of the "download torrent".

As far as for our tracker goes,
you just click the link beside the tracker label.
Say if you go here --> http://datorrents.com/torrents-details.asp?id=20038
you would click the Bloodshadow.torrent

Now you cannot just view the file by opening it.

To open the torrent file, download a hexviewer, say winhex, google it up, download the software and open the torrent file with it. you can see lots of information there such as hex values and addresses.

Ok I lied, to view a file from the torrent, you need to get a client, to get a client you need bittorrent.

Go to bittorrent.com click "download bittorrent" and it will lead you to the download page. And an obvious thing to do is to click download once again to download the bittorrent.

Ok I lied again, you do not need the bittorrent to get a client. Few good clients are out there like Azureus, bitcommet, uTorrent. Most guys here uses uTorrent, so that's what I would recommend as well. go to utorrent.com and download the client. Run the program, and open the torrent file with it. once opened, download will start automatically.

Note that you may or may not view the contents prior to finishing the download.
