Hi Don!

I was in  canada once, but only in toronto area and like, 7 years ago. I'm
from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

What arrow? If its from the torrent client, probably they are only uploading
the torrent to other downloaders. This is how torrent works, after you
download, if you leave the dialog opened, it stays as seeder, feeding the
torrent network with the downloaded file.

When you open a .torrent file with a torrent client, it generally asks where
to you want to save, or save it on a default download folder. Try looking
into the torrent client preferences or making a search on you computer for
ISO files (search for *.iso)


What application are you using for recording the ISO? Try to use the Nero
Express or ISO RECORDER, they are quick and simple.

See ya!
