    Time Elapsed = How long you have been active on the torrent.
    Remaining = Estimated time left on download based on current download speed
    Downloaded = How much data you have downloaded
    Download Speed = How fast you are currently downloading
    (avg.) = Average download speed over the download period.
    Uploaded = How much data you have uploaded
    Upload Speed = How fast you are currently uploading
    (avg.) = Average upload speed over the upload period.
    Seeds = How many seeds (people with 100% file) you are currently connected to, and how many are available
    Peers = How many peers (people without 100% file) you are currently connected to, and how many are available
    Wasted = wasted download data, repeated packets, packets that have failed hashchecks, etc.

    All in all, pretty self explanatory.

    THanks, yeah most of them are pretty self-explanatory, seeds and peers are what had me confused. One more question, it finished downloading the .RAR, and it is now seeding, which will take another week or so. Do I have to wait for it to finish seeding before I can use the RAR?

    No. Just stop seeding and extract it. When it's done, you can resume seeding.
    Extracting while seeding can lead to corrupt files. Not good if you need them to be perfect, like disc images...

    No it won't. Seeding doesn't change the file, and extracting doesn't change the original file (it does create the extracted file though). You can view pictures, read files, watch movies, extract compressed files, etc all while keeping your torrent active.

    Every time I extract an ISO while seeding, and then burn it, I get an unreadable disc...If I stop the torrent, then extract it, then burn it, it turns out fine.

    I didn't even end up burning this one. I just mounted all the install dics one at a time with DAEMON, then noCD patched the game, works fine.

    That sounds like you're running really old hardware with no buffer underrun protection on the burner and your hard disks are not able to supply the data at a fast enough rate to keep it supplied.
