µtorrent is a very tiny Bit torrent client that enables a user to download a specific file (specifically using torrent system) using a P2P (peer to peer) sharing. When we download a torrent, we do not get the file from a huge CPU commonly called server. Instead, we get a file uploaded by a user who already have downloaded it earlier. Once the seeders are online, they can upload tiny bits of file and µtorrent will compile it to form the file. The many the seeders, the faster the torrent will download.
Torrent engines are used for the bittorrent peer to peer file sharing system that is used to allow people to share files with each other. An example of one of these websites is The Pirate Bay.

A torrent or BitTorrent client is mostly used for peer-to-peer sharing. It also reduces the server and network impact of distributing large files. With 150 million active users, BitTorrent is by far the most popular choice for file sharing.
A .rar is simply a compressed file similar to a .zip file. A torrent file does not contain the actual file(s); it only points to data that resides elsewhere. A torrent is used by a Peer-to-Peer sharing application such as Vuze (and many others) to incrementally download the file(s) from a remote location. Torrents can be downloaded from places like Mininova or ThePirateBay (and many other places), but they are not where the files actually are located. The actual file(s) are shared by other users of the P2P application and are downloaded from many places similtaneously. Many people believe this is piracy and in some cases, it probably is.
