    Basically, they're links (urls, internet shortcuts) that update when the website is changed.

    For example, if you subscribe to a News websites RSS feed, you can see the news in the form of links that change title in your browser window.

    They're also used to download things in bittorrent as they come out.
    For example, if your favourite legal online show comes out every week, and the site has an RSS feed for it, your bittorrent client will scan the feed and download new episodes as they are released without you doing it manually.
    Handy!

    There's probably better explainations out there, Google "RSS FAQ".

    If you use µTorrent (what do you mean you don't?!), they have a nice RSS tutorial on their site to help you out.
    Nothing illegal though, perish the thought.
