That is fairly good and simple explanation of it. I haven't done a whole lot in the way of downloading AFL games but I think they're on Demonoid mostly, which you will need an invite to.

Basically you download a small file from a torrent search engine then you open it in a torrent program (Bittorrent, Transmission, Utorrent etc) and it will download small pieces from people all over the internet until you have it.

Choose a torrent with plenty of seeders and lots of positive comments and you shouldn't have too much trouble
