Do you have BitTorrent? Since that's kind of necessary.

Steps I followed:

1. Downloaded the torrent.

2. Downloaded uTorrent.

3. Used uT to download the torrent to my computer.

4. Went to my Downloads folder, and clicked open on the torrent file.

And then nothing happened.

I really don't know. It says ISO Image File.

you have to get an ISO image burner program and burn it to a blank disk.

I go through all this, and I'm burning the torrent, when all of a sudden there's a writing error. I'm getting so sick of stuff not working...

I've gone through multiple programs now, and all of them have writing errors midway through the process. Is there any way to salvage this endeavor?

Reoga...you have been annoying the piss out of me lately, I'm sorry to say. It's a sad thing.

Screw that, I'm just buying the damn thing from Amazon.

Sure, it costs money and time, but I'm so pissed at torrents in general right now. I doubt I'll ever try it again.

maybe the torrent downloaded "wrong" or something.

I'll keep my torrents...
and my 438 GB transferred just since October.

i wrote a really long and helpful response to this, and it appears to be gone.
long story short, get daemon tools to open your ISO file
