  1. Downloaded ubuntu-12.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads.

  2. Downloaded Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.6.3.exe from http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/

3 How do you convert the ubuntu-12.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent to the ubuntu-12.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso for the flash drive? Just rename the file? Or is there an extraction process through a bit torrent utility -- and if so ---can you point me in the direction on how to do it?

You only have a torrent "seed". You haven't actually downloaded Ubuntu at this point. The official documentation states:

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.

Thanks for your responses.

Found out from my IT guy that you need to download and install Bit Torrent (http://www.bittorrent.com/) to download and convert the ubuntu-12.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent on the Ubuntu web site to extract the ubuntu-12.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso image you need to use in order to install it on a PC. Sadly you can't just rename the file, not is any of this documentation referenced on the page:http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads
