   When a torrent is clicked you should get a file downloading to your home directory.  
Keep an eye on it, as it should update (how fast depends on how many seeds/leaches).  
I haven't seen many that are very fast,   maybe the last fedora d/l i did was, but I 
don't use it that often.  I believe the Java implementation, Azureus(?) has a front 
end that will show you the progress of your download, but I usually just open up a
nautilus window on my home directory, look at it in detail view to see the progress
