I downloaded xubuntu 16.04-desktop iso.torrent in order to install on my eee pc 900a. how do I go about creating a bootable usb with the torrent file? And furthermore how to install it on the netbook which currently has the android x86 os on it. I installed it to see how it runs and didnt like it but now I'm having a hard time taking it off or rather replacing it with something else.
The file you downloaded is a torrent file. You need to open the file with a torrent manager like this. After downloading the complete iso file, burn it to your pendrive with tools like unetbootin. You can easily find other information on google.
The following official Ubuntu link
explains it like this
BitTorrent
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer download network that sometimes enables higher download speeds and more reliable downloads of large files. You will need to install a BitTorrent client on your computer in order to enable this download method.
There are several torrent clients available for Ubuntu and the Ubuntu family flavours (for example Xubuntu) as well as for Windows and MacOS.
I use the torrent client Transmission in Lubuntu and it works well for me. You can start it via Dash in standard Ubuntu or via the menu in most other operating systems or via the following command line (in Linux)
and it will fetch the iso file for you. The torrent process will check the md5sum automatically and it is often but not always faster than downloading the iso file directly. (Some internet service providers block torrents because they think that all torrent actions are illegal.)
Use a tool to create a USB boot drive fron an iso file. The cloning method works with all Ubuntu and Ubuntu family iso files. It is a very reliable method.
In Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and newer versions you can use the Startup Disk Creator.
In Linux you can use Disks alias gnome-disks or mkusb
Please avoid dd, a very powerful but also dangerous tool, often nicknamed 'Data Destroyer' and 'Disk Destroyer' because it does what you tell it to do without questions. And telling it to overwrite the family pictures in a minor typing error away.
In Windows you can use Win32 Disk Imager. Ted 2 free full online.
There are also extracting tools.
In Windows there are several extracting tools. Rufus can be recommended.
In Linux there are several tools too, for example Unetbootin and LiLi, that are also recommended by many people (but I think the cloning tools are more reliable).

The top torrent sites currently include old favorites like The Pirate Bay, as well as very popular sites like RARBG, 1337X, Torlock, YTS.ag, TorrentDownloads, and LimeTorrents.
That said, we know that the best torrent site is always the one that has the high-quality torrent you're after, and with the most seeders, so a large and thorough list of torrent sites, like those in the list below the torrents that are the best of the best, is always a welcome resource to find.
We don't condone illegal sharing of copyrighted files. Please see our full disclaimer and warning for new torrent users at the bottom of the page.
If you're new to torrents, we have two resources that will help you get started in torrenting.
Also, be sure you're running fully updated anti-malware software before you visit any of these sites, and try one of the Best VPN Service Providers that can help keep your torrent activity, and other browsing, private and secure. Also, if you're new to torrents, don't forget that you'll need a torrent client to get these files.
All torrent sites below are working unless otherwise noted, at least as of the last update to this page. Let us know (feedback@lifewire.com) if we need to adjust a listing.
These seven sites made the top of the list. They're not the only torrent sites out there, but they are among the best.
This torrent site is a classic, and one of the most popular on the web. TPB has been around in one incarnation or another for a long time and the torrents here are, and have always been, trusted.
Icons on each download help users quickly see if a seeder is trusted or a VIP which helps to ensure safe downloads.
TPB occasionally moves around. If you're still experiencing issues reaching TPB, try these listings on the ProxyBay. It's possible you'll find another way into the site.
This torrent site is for movie enthusiasts. It's full of quality, high-resolution video torrents.
Top 10 lists help users find the most popular movies on the site, and a detail page for the download includes a variety of information from the size of the file and the date it was added to actor information, and the number of seeders and leechers for the download.
At RARBG, it’s about quality, not quantity.
If you're after older or more obscure torrents, 1337X might be for you. Their torrent database isn't nearly as large as some others, but it might have just what you're after. The front page is regularly updated with current and popular information about torrents, torrenting, and categories of interest.
The level of advertising you’ll encounter on this site is frustrating. Links often require two clicks..one to bring up an ad (in a separate window) and one to actually access the information you want. However, once you get passed the advertising, the search result pages contain lots of useful information.
This is the 'no fake torrent' site you've been waiting for. The site actually pays its users $1 per fake torrent they find, and claims to have more than 5 million verified torrents.
You’ll find current and popular files to download in movies, anime, software, games, and music, as well as other categories, and a Top 100 list lets you know what’s most popular with the most seeders and peers.
Focusing exclusively on movies, YTS.am (or YTS.ag) has an easy-to-use layout and a wide variety of titles both old and new. The torrents themselves are known to be easy on bandwidth, which will make those with data caps happy.
YTS.am is the unofficial successor to the now-defunct YTS/YIFY group, which closed its virtual doors in 2015. The current site has a massive user base, too, which helps the bittorrent protocol work more efficiently.
We love the super straightforward torrent detail page at TorrentDownloads. That would be reason enough to give this one a try but the big database and high quality of torrents make it a great choice.
Users can find current torrents in a variety of categories. The ability to rate files and leave comments on files helps to reduce the number of fake files found on the site. An Advanced Search option also allows users to narrow the field of possible returns by category, provider, and status.
You don't want to miss this site in your torrent search. Users report the size of their database is impressive and the frequency of legitimate torrents is enough to keep them coming back.
It’s easy to quickly determine whether a torrent is worth downloading. Internal lists show the date added, size, seeder and leechers, as well as a health meter for each file. The information page for each download also provides additional information about the file.
There are way more than just seven torrent sites out there, of course. We’ve compiled the following list, just in case you want to explore beyond the ones above.
The advertisements on many of these sites are often of the NSFW variety. You should use caution when accessing these sites from public computers or with children present.
Lifewire does not condone illegal sharing of copyrighted material. While P2P file sharing technology itself is completely legal, many of the files traded through P2P are indeed copyrighted. Uploading these copyrighted files puts you at risk of a civil lawsuit in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK, at a minimum.
Lawsuits can be targeted at individual users or groups of users. These P2P civil lawsuits are very real and, whether or not they are successful, they are often an extreme financial and emotional burden on the defendants.
Additionally, your Internet Service Provider may choose to release a history of your download and upload activity to potential copyright plaintiffs. In general, the more data you download and upload, the more risk you have of being sued by copyright protection groups.
