I used to use Torrent Spy but these days you can't be sure you're downloading what you think you are (comments are genreally off-line these days). These days I tend to use mininova.org or eztv.it (both will have most tof the popular shows you will want to download.
Anyhow - getting back to your original question.
On Torrent Spy, select the torrent you want to download and save it to a specific folder on your hard drive (torrent download will only take a second or two).
Once downloaded, open up your torrent client (I use Azureus, but you can use ABC or Bittorrent as well - I've used these but find Azureus to be the best).
Add the downloaded torrent file to your torrent client, select the folder to download your file(s) if you haven't got a default folder and you're right to go.
In the past, I used to have problems with torrents crashing for no apparrent reason. When I switched to Azureus I never had a torrent crash. Another tip for anyone who uses torrents and also has Google Desktop running - make sure you go into the Google Desktop settings and remove the Drive/Folder from Google Desktop that you download your torrent files into.
Many times I would be downloading and a torrent would crash and I would get an error message saying that "the file was in use by another application". This would have me stumped because I couldn't think what other application would be accessing a partially downloaded file. Google Desktop is always scanning your drives and folders. When it accesses your partially downloaded file it will cause it to crash. Deselect this folder/drive from Google Desktop's search parameters and you won't have a problem.
