Ubuntu - I have downloaded Ubuntu using BitTorrent. Now, how do I install it?

Burn it on the dvd using nero. Nero will make the iso image as installation disc. Then change first boot device to CD/DVD ROM from BIOS settings. Then follow the steps. Ubuntu will get installed.
 
There are a few ways you can install it. But i'll just give you the ones that I have done.

First is burning it on to a CD. This is probably the easiest and most common way.
http://www.burnaware.com/ if you are using windows
or http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html if you are using mac.
After you have burnt it onto the cd, inject the cd into your machine and then restart you computer.

A second way on installing it is creating a bootable USB stick. This is a good way to install something if you do not have any CDs/DVDs or if you are installing something on a netbook

or if you are using mac, you will need to following these instructions http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download

A third way of doing it is installing it using a Virtual Machine. This way all you need is the ISO file because you can run the OS just off the ISO file. The most popular VM ware is VirtualBox. It is easy to use and great fun! https://www.virtualbox.org/

Hope this helps!
