Hello Linux friends thank you for allowing me into your group. I have just recently decided to become a computer programer so i am as new a newbie as there is. I am getting started with Linux while also starting on Python. I am trying to make due with a refurbished 2011 Mac Mini using Parallels to run Windows 10 before having to invest in a new computer. I also consider this my expendable computer in case i really mess something up. I would like to install Slackware but the torrents wouldn't install so i got directed here trying to take the next step. Appreciate any advice.

You might want to post what exactly you have done so far and maybe which torrent you downloaded.

Did you try the FTP if you cant get a good iso, its pretty good and has a lot of versions , its not a torrent but still
: http://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/
Or is your problem whit the install of slackware , what CPU does that PC have , try a 32 bit ISO

you do not install torrents. they are just a file that tells the torrent client where to get the file, download an iso of slack you want. then burn it to a usb stick. then install it.
(do not mind the version that link is showing, it is still the same procedural steps.)
