Just open a terminal and

sudo
password
apt-get install deluge-torrent

Setup your torrent and download folders, i've found it best to limit max connections to 50, max upload speed to 10, active torrents and upload slots to 1.

Is already there! Under "network" you you should have "Transmission Bitorrent Client"!
Otherwise download with synaptic

VLC for video, Audacious (simple but light) Rhythmbox (middle of the road) or Amarok (better but heavier) for audio. gtkpod for (windows formatted) iPod connectivity.

XO-1: Is never going to run Flash, but is certainly flashy!
(If you want Flash, get an XO-1.5 running OLPC 11.2.0 or XOpup Grin

)
