Bittorrent is a P2P download system.  My experiences with it have been
quite positive, but I have heard plenty of contrary opinions.

Simply go to:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bittorrent/BitTorrent-3.4.2.exe?download

to get a copy from your favorite mirror.  Then go to:
http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/

Click on your favorite version and go.

When I do this, I usually create a 3-5GB partition on the hardrive and
download the dvd iso image directly into that partition (windows sees
these as drives).  You can then mount the first (and only in the case of
the dvd) .iso image, and look into the root directory for a subdirectory
called images.  Look for the disk iso image and place it on a flash
stick.  Reboot from the flash stick, and tell it where the iso is.  Your
system will not only install, but remember that location if you ever
decide to add more software later.

Welcome to Linux.  You will find that support via newsgroups like this
will usually be more complete and accurate that the crap you have been
paying for all these years.

Good Luck
