Problem?

So I have been trying to download the Knoppix cd version 5.1.0 from http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/ using BitTorrent. The very first time I downloaded it, it downloaded fine. But, I deleted the files before I knew that I needed to burn them to a cd in order to use it as a Live cd. Now, the past three times I have tried to download it, it will download for about 15-20 minutes and then I will get a blue screen saying something about my computer beginning a system dump to a cd. I do not remember the exact words, because I want to make sure nothing bad happens to my computer. Any ideas?

Maybe post this in the windows section as this has nothing to do with linux

Thank you for the reply. Needless to say, I got it downloaded and installed on my laptop. The reason I posted here is because it was an issue with downloading linux and wasn't sure if anyone else had my same experience.

Ah right, sorry to hear you're having problems. With bit torrent, it requires seeders to be online with the relevant parts. Maybe some seeders are on the same 15% as you, you'll need to wait for more people to come on to help with the sharing. Alternatively, get the files via FTP/HTTP.
