hi everybody....i didnt used ubuntu till now..and now i decided to start with ubuntu and downloaded the iso file torrent from Complete Download Options List | Ubuntu
named ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent...but after downloading it shows that its a winrar archive......can i do anything with this rar??

That's normal of a standard WinRar install. all you need to do is load your burning program (CDBurnerXP, Nero, etc) and tell it you want to burn an existing image (.iso) file. It should then ask you to locate the file (do this by browsing to it) and Burn the disc.

It is recommended that you burn it at a low speed and verify the data.



Good Luck

What is the size of the file on your disk? The ISO should be almost 700MB, whereas the torrent is a few KB.
If you downloaded the .torrent file, you have to open it with a torrent download manager, like μTorrent and it will bring you the actual ISO file. Or download Ubuntu directly from an HTTP server.
