The .next extension is used to label torrent files created specifically for the BTNext torrent client family. BTNext is the largest Portuguese torrent (P2P, peer-to-peer) tracker that requires an invite-only registration, uses rating and donation systems and imposes its own torrent client. BTNext serves the Portuguese IP-address pool only.
A generic torrent file is a small-size binary file that contains a hash of some user data (one or more files or directories) that uniquely identifies such data and enables its exchange over a P2P network with a torrent client. Torrent files themselves do not contain any user data, they are just pointers to where such data can be found.
A .next file is a torrent file meant to be opened only with one of the BTNext torrent clients (BTNext Legacy, BTNext Evolution etc.). Some other torrent clients may be able to recognize a .next torrent file with the extension changed to .torrent. However, such torrent files may not be usable as the BTNext tracker does not support any torrent clients except its own.
