Hello, Duda:
I tried to download  the iso of Damn Small Linux using the bit torrent's 
protocol...The file showed 100%, but the Arrow was still  present, when 
i tried to use the file. Then  I went to one of the CD Burner file, 
tagged the ISO file transfer, but, I could not get it to locate the iso 
file....So I tried to transfer the file over, "drag and drop", but could 
not do so.... Then I deleted the original ISO file, and tried to 
redownload, with the same result....So I am wondering if I may be doing 
something wrong?

To answer your question about Vancouver, I live in a community 
approximately 150 km north of  Vancouver, and don't go to the Big 
Lights, possibly once in three years!, So, I do not know any events 
happening there....
Hope you enjoy your stay/visit  in Beautiful British Columbia! my home 
Province.... ;-)
