Thanks for the bittorrent client, the_Jinx, but please can you answer my question, because you seem to know quite a lot about bittorrents:

Do the bittorrent files I just downloaded contain exactly the same programs/etc.. that the (much larger) ISO image brings?


***EDIT***

Oh right, I think I get it. ABC "extracts" the bittorrent files to much larger files. Which are basically the same as the ISO images. Just 1 thing: do I burn the "extracted" files as an .iso image on the CD-R(s) or as a normal file??

***EDIT2***

I might as well hve downloaded the ISO images straight away! ABC is downloading the ISO image from the bittorrent file, which is taking longer than if I had downloaded the ISO image straight away!

BitTorrent is a P2P system, by sharing your bandwidth (upstream) it's making the iso's go faster for all..

Slackware themselves don't give out the iso's on their ftp anymore, just the torrents

FTP might, if you find a good one, go faster then the torrent.

You burn the ISO to a cdrom.

the BitTorrent client downloads the iso with the information provided by the torrent file.

Thanks the_Jinx, I understand it much better now!

Thanks everyone who posted in this thread, you all really helped!

your favorite cd burn software should recognise those images as "bootable images" and burn them as it. Please verify it before burn the cd.
