1457334	2019-01-15 02:23:00	I thought I'd try something new to me and work a copy of Ubuntu Mate from a Torrent . I asked for and got ubuntu-mate-1804 . 1 desktop-i386 . iso Where did it go? I cannot find it in my downloads area nor any place that will report to me where it went . . . . or if it even exists any more . I didn't close the card that says: "Transmission" on top and somewhat normal . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "2001 GB uploaded 25 . 14 MB (Ratio: 0 . 00)" and below that ----> Seeding to 0 of 0 connected peers . I BELIEVE I have it downloaded - and I don't understand what the 'uploaded' part is, but I can live with it I guess . Where's my file so I can put it on a SD Card? I believe I can just drag-n-drop it on the SD image - but I don't know what I'm supposed to do now . Is it ready to be made into a bootable SD card yet? Please say 'Yes'! Help!	SurferJoe46 (51)

1457336	2019-01-15 02:53:00	try right clicking on the entry for it in transimission and see if there's an option to got to the file location. Or maybe find the configuration settings for transmission and see where it's set to move ccompleted torrents to. I stopped using transmission though so these are vague memories.	dugimodo (138)
1457337	2019-01-15 03:09:00	Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... I right click Transmission on the 'file' to OPEN FOLDER and then VLC opens and tries to find something it can play to make music I guess.	SurferJoe46 (51)
1457338	2019-01-15 06:41:00	Seeding is your computer uploading part of the file you are downloading, that is how torrents work, they download and upload from multiple sources at the same time	gary67 (56)
1457339	2019-01-15 07:27:00	Aha! So I'm sending OUT some of the stuff I just downloaded? Kewl!	SurferJoe46 (51)

1457342	2019-01-17 04:37:00	[QUOTE=SurferJoe46;1285232] an .ISO file has to be extracted to a folder and then you use that to burn a CD or DVD a bit vague and as far as I know ya can't boot into an Op Sys that is an .ISO image. It, the .ISO has to be extracted to a Folder or burned to a blank CD/DVD and installed to a Hard drive as a Bootable Operating System WRONG in every statement above. You DONT extract the contents of an ISO. A ISO is compressed version of what ever it was created from, its designed to be in .ISO Format. When you get a ISO if you want to put it on media you either burn it with ISO software to either a CD or DVD, or if you use a USB use something like rufus. The programs are designed to burn the ISO correctly from the software. As proof, have a watch of this, its a Mint 19.1 in ISO, shows installing mint on a Virtual Machine, RUNNING from the ISO. If I wanted to install it on the VM I would click install Mint, this is all running from the Live ISO. :) You CAN boot from a ISO, they are designed for it. streamable.com	wainuitech (129)
