You are probably still uploading - don't worry about it. If you've got the file you can stop and do your checksum, then burn the ISO.

Well, geeze - I don't know. Whats the file extension now? If it's not already an ISO then I assume it's a zip, or rar file of some kind. In that case you would need a decompression program like winzip or something to uncompress it. Then it should be the ISO file after being uncompressed. Then you would need a good burning program like Nero to make the bootable image file. You can go here http://iso.linuxquestions.org/ and see how to burn an ISO.

You can extract it to anywhere, the desktop - it's own folder etc. and it should be an ISO already when extracted. Just look for the ISO file extension. Then all you need to do is burn the image of the ISO to a CR-R. That doesn't mean that you just copy the ISO to the CD-R - it means you have to burn an image. Go to the link I provided above and it will tell you how to do it.

Seeding is to do with Bit Torrent....

The idea is that after you have downloaded a file you become a seed allowing others to download the file from you rather than using the original providers bandwidth.... sort of like a mirror server
