20 After downloading your dvds with your bittorrent client of choice (I
21 prefer Azureus, memory hog that it is), you will usually have to
22 extract them. Typically, dvd images (isos) are compressed for better
23 data integrity into between 40 and 70 rar files. You'd need the unrar
24 utility (emerge unrar) to extract them. At that point, iirc, you
25 should be able to run unrar -x <first archive file> and you'll get
26 your iso.

28 Now load it up into k3b or your burning program of choice and burn!
