Hello : ) I have an Ubuntu dedicated server, and I was wondering how to download to the server movies from the Internet (torrent files and normal files).

hmm odd place for this post..
but ssh into the box, get utorrent or what ever everyone is using now as your torrent client. They all have a www client at this point. configure your setup. Do you want remote access? If you want remote access forward the www port that your torrent client will use.
It sounds like you are really new, ff this is going to be a fileserver, you probably don't want your media stored into the same partition as your ubuntu because being new will probably mess some shit up on the server a few times. Make a new partition(s) so when you reinstall you won't lose anything. Edit your fstab to make partitions persistent in case you do reboot as well.
Rtorrent, wget, jdownloader headless
wget <url>
or install a downloader such as axel, then
axel <url>
for torrents you can install something like rtorrent (pref with the web interface rutorrent) or there are some others.
