Bit torrent is a P2P program- think of it like Kazaa without the search for stuff function.. to get the files you need to use another site like torrentspy or torrentreactor.
FTP is file transfer protocol- think of it like using Windows Explorer on other people's computers (that's the simplest way of thinking about it i can think of) except you can't delete stuff and so on...

To use ftps you mean? Your browser will probably have basic ftp support, but it sort of sucks compared to an actual client program.
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/
For the one that Ian mentioned, which I haven't used personally
or
http://www.smartftp.com/
For a pretty good free one that I use sometimes.
(Both are free)
Connecting to an ftp is just like seremify007 said, you put in an address, and often a username and password, then you get to a part that looks a lot like lists of files in windows Explorer. You pick whatever you want from the list of files and folders (And navigate around it just like in explorer), then tell it to download and away it goes

Bear in mind though, its isnt of the same browsing nature of p2p programs, as ogmzergrush mentioned you'll need an address to connect to, so simply installing this program will not allow you to search a multitude of sources instantly etc..
