Hi, |

The torrent file is only a textfile to use with bit torrent to download the |
| 11 |
actual iso you're looking for by using pear-to-pear. |

You nees to have bittorrent installed, I'd recommend Bittornado but there are |
| 14 |
many other gui and non-gui ways to use bittorrent. |

The advantage of bittorrent is that you don't stress servers so much |
| 17 |
As far as I am concerned, I've mostly found ftp or http download faster. |

Anyway, you have to download the iso file to be able tu burn it to CD. I'm not |
| 20 |
aware of any way of installing Gentoo on many pc's without either compiling |
| 21 |
it pc after pc, or possibly creating an image of the first install and |
| 22 |
copying it (provided all pcs are the same, of course). |
