Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it

So ... I've never, to my knowledge, mounted anything (gah! More sexual innuendo!), so I'll stick with the disk.
I hadn't, either, but 'mounting' turned out to be quick and easy. :) Download Daemon Tools Lite from here, install, click the icon in the tray and find the iso file. Then you can browse the contents from My Computer just like you would if it was a regular CD. I'm almost certain it's easier than the other way.

Yes, might as well get started :)
Madame Teacosy! Shame on you for misquoting me *blush*
@Mmmary and Mixreality: Thanks, both of you, for your respones. I wish I could have thought up a decent justification for staying home today so I could play around with all this, but alas, people here seem to depend on me. I guess job security is a good thing :-)

Feel free to P&L/ignore this, but how reliable are the time estimates given by torrent programs? I'm using utorrent, and seeing a lot of fluctuation in the estimated time - anywhere from 11 hours up to 22 hours. I started about five hours ago and have about a gig and three quarters... so should I just estimate based on that?
Impatient cat is getting a little twitchy with her seemingly shitty internet connection.
Think yourself lucky - mine currently says 23w.

My initial estimate was given at 500+ hours. In reality, it ended up taking 12+ hours. It helped to sleep through a big chunk of it.

Well utorrent and the like give you an estimate based on the current/recent down speed. It's either the actual down speed at the moment or the average of the last few seconds.
