I went to the centos.org site and selected the file I wanted, for
example, this URL for x86_64 DVD
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent
Then I opened Ktorrent and pressed the "open URL" button in the button
bar and inserted the above URL in the dialog box and pressed "OK".
Waited while the file downloaded.  That's it.
