There is default application called Transmission (Appliucations→Internet→Transmission). Other applications (not installed by default) are e.g. KTorrent, Azureus, Deluge, BitTornado...

Just download .torrent file and in Firefox Save dialog choose "open with Transsmision" or save this file and the open it with Transmission from Nautilus...

Output? It's up every torrent... Transmission will create new folder (you can choose where, be default in your home directory) and all downloaded files will be saved there.

Yes, but this is not think of Ubuntu or Transmission -- "founder" of the torrent has uploaded it...
