Now you need a program that can handle bittorent downloads. Or something
went wrong and :

You have probably just downloaded the `Dropline GNOME' gnome installer ISO
image from `http://www.dropline.net/gnome/' . Check the size to be sure .

ISO image <quote>
an ISO image (as prescribed by ISO standard ISO 9660) is a file that
represents a one-to-one copy of a specific computer filesystem, most
widely used for the compact disc medium (i.e an entire CD or DVD-ROM).

You can burn those ISO images either on a CD or you can mount them as a
filesystem.. A search for mount ISO image on the linux department of
google will give more than enough clear results.
