whats the purpose of a media server
See this reply to my questions here for a good walkthrough of what this stack of software does. Basically helps you make your own streaming service by downloading what you want to host from different sources and you can access it from your devices. Like your own custom Netflix.
okay but how do you even get media for this 'custom netflix'? do yiu just pirate?
Yes but don't tell anyone.
how
Download a torrent file and put it into a torrent client. Let the client download the torrent. Take the resulting file and watch it using the video player of your choice.
See the other reply I linked to for the tools. In those tools you define what torrent sites you want to download from and if set up correctly it should do the torrent searching and downloading for you.
