How Do Torsion Concepts Differ in Algebra and Differential Geometry?

I wonder if there are some relationships between the torsion in algebra and the torsion in differential geometry. Could someone tell me something about them?

Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing, torsion in algebra "measures" which elements of the group have finite order and torsion in geometry is a measure of how much a the curve "twists"?
