The Opera browser never fails to amaze me - not only it is available for Windows, Mac and Linux - but you it has embedded mail, and can be used to share files (with Opera Unite) but it is also able to download bit-torrent files.
Compared to the traditional download where the file source can only be downloaded from one server - bit-torrent files are sharing the stress of the download on all the clients that are currently downloading the file, making the process a lot more efficient and faster - see illustration for a better understanding (extract from wikipedia) :
Here's a step by step of the process of downloading a bit-torrent DVD (Linuxmint "Isadora")
step 1 - click on the torrent link and press "Open"
step 2 - select destination and press "Yes"
step 3 - check downloading process

Basic Apple Troubleshooting

Maybe I never mentioned it but I've been working for Apple Care some years ago and I'm still trying to help people who own a Mac from times to times.
The kind of issue like :
- my iMac won't boot
- I can't login into my session
- I forgot my login password - how can I reset my password
- How can I reinstall Mac OS X without losing my data ?
- Just before the problem happened was anything changed on the hardware level (new devices, new Ram installed ?)
- Just before the problem happened was anything changed on the software level (system updates, new application installed ?)
Now here's a compilation of useful links from the Apple kbase concerning iMac :
Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
iMac G5: My computer stops responding during startup
iMac G5: Troubleshooting when your computer won't turn on
iMac G5: Troubleshooting when there's no picture on the display
And don't forget before calling Apple Care they will ask you the mac serial number so get it ready - you will save precious time during that call, also prepare the original install cd/dvd and the AHT (Apple Hardware Test) cd.
Good luck
