Sorry, I'm not fully understanding the question? You're clicking on a link to download a torrent file which doesn't work . . . but where does the song playing come into it?

It sounds like it is downloading and playing it instead of downloading the torrent, which sounds very odd. Have you tried right click and 'save target as'?

Ah, okay, have a check in Firefox -> Tools -> Options -> Applications
Check that the file type is set to 'Save File', 'Always Ask' or 'uTorrent'

You could try resetting the download actions:
File types and download actions - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
I take it you have no extra plugins that may be causing issues?
