Assuming windows, you need to get something like micro torrent (google it), download and install. Download the torrent, this is the "index" for the file, open it in the torrent client and it will download the actual episode. To play it you will need a player with the correct codec's, you can try Media player but its unlikely, your better bet is to also get either VLC media player or BS player (again google them)

I recommend utorrent as the best torrent download app.

Then install [url= http://shark007.net ]Shark007 Codec Pack[/url] and you'll be able to watch pretty much anything using media player.

Or get http://divx.com as that is the format used by most video torrents.

VLC player - to play anything & everthing.

Sorted.

VLC as the player - never need to hunt for a codec again.
uTorrent is a superb Torrent downloader as well.

Yep,

uTorrent to download.
VLC to watch on PC/Laptop
ConvertXtoDVD to burn to DVD (best to find a torrent of this)

Really surprised everyone is using VLC Player.

Why mess about installing another new player?
Just install the [url= http://shark007.net/ ]codecs[/url] above and carry on using Media Player.

Also someone should probably mention [url= http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/ ]PeerGuardian 2[/url] for avoiding the feds ๐Ÿ™‚

Media player is a bloated piece of rubbish! I use VLC for ease

The new Red Dwarf episode isn't worth it

Erm... okay. Not very sure why you think it's particularly bloated. It's well integrated into Windows, starts pretty much instantly and plays my movies without any issues or fuss.

But whatever, each to their own.

As nickc says, its really not worth wasting your time on.

I was looking forward to it, but what a pile O crap.

You're better off just watching the old one's again & again
