The *right* one, by any means!

Only kidding. The first CD should suffice if you have a working
Internet connection that you can use *during* the installation. The
Debian Installer, once started from the first CD, will download
everything else it may need from the Internet, as-you-go. You only need
other CDs if you want to install Debian on a machine that has no
(wired) Internet access.

Ooops, forgot to mention: it's the *.iso you need; the *.torrent is
just a link you use if, instead of your browser, you prefer to use a
bittorrent client for the download (if you don't know what bittorrent
is, then don't bother, just download the *.iso with your browser).

You *do* know that Lenny is the recommended version to download, right?
It's the current stable release of Debian.

I also suppose you know how to write an *.iso to a blank CD ROM? You
don't "copy" it to the medium -- instead, you use the option "burn ISO"
or "burn disk image" in your CD writing software.

Since I don't use Squeeze, I can only suggest you download the 1st DVD;
with Lenny at least, that's enough to get a bootable system (optionally
with the Gnome desktop environment) which should get you going.
Depending on your hardware, the video and/or the wireless card might
prove to be a pain in the neck to get working. You'll know when you
boot into the new system for the first time.
