And what a surprise when you specify a specific download directory...and you 
get the ISO somewhere else!
While trying to redownload the torrent target, it would just continue 
uploading ?! Then I checked the files and I end up with an ISO around 16TB 
somewhere in my Desktop. The good news is that it fits in the 4GB DVD 
(Polyakov is the best developer in the world!).

The problem comes now when trying to read the DVD: (from dmesg)
cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
SCSI-CMD Filter: 0x1e not allowed with read-mode
cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev hdc.
FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev hdc.
attempt to access beyond end of device
hdc: rw=0, want=68, limit=4
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=hdc, iso_blknum=16, block=16

That may be my DVD device not working. I could mount the dvd thru the loopback 
device and I am upgrading with urpmi --auto-select . Went fine.

Thanks.
