If you go to a torrent site like http://thepiratebay.org/ and do a search for say [edit] you'll get this result
http://thepiratebay.org/search/[edit]/0/0/300

Click on any page there and there will be a link called DOWNLOAD THIS TORRENT. You can drag that into Frostwire or Limewire betas and if the link is active it will end up in the download section. You could also copy the short cut if the DOWNLOAD link and in LW/FW click on FILE then DOWNLOAD TORRENT... then paste the URL in there.

BitTorrent is a file distribution system used for transferring files across a network of people. As you download a file, BitTorrent places what you download on upload for other users; when multiple people are downloading the same file at the same time they upload pieces of the file to each other. BitTorrent pieces together the file you are downloading, to where the first part of a file you get may be the last part someone else gets. As you continue to retrieve the file, BitTorrent also uploads data to other users. For example, a person with 98 percent of the file done is directed to the people with the 2 percent of the file they still need.Limewire now supports BitTorrent downloads | TorrentFreak
