.torrent

[Peter H.]

Hi,

When I wanted to download some programs I ended up with a .torrent file, like  
dlg-2.10.0.iso.torrent.

What am I supposed to do with that? This is unfamiliar to me.

Thanks & regards

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). 
</quote>

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.

Whatever you try, DO NOT EAT IT ! Or at least turn the power off before
you set your teeth in the hdd..

Heck, I opened your mail too late. It just caused me some slight indigestion 
so.
