It's a 8GB compressed image file (plenty of soundfonts) compiled for Raspberry Pi 3. (Please, keep feeding the torrent after downloading!)
These SD card images include all the Zynthian software, properly configured for working with the official kits. Completely ready to use. Plug and play!
After downloading the SD-image, you have to write it to a SDcard. You need a SD card with a minimum size of 16GB, although you can use a bigger one if you want.
Use [https://etcher.io/ Etcher] (free software works on Mac, Windows or Linux) to write the image onto the SDcard. Or do it manually! There is a really good manual for this at [https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/ this link].
Finally, if you like, you can build your own SD image following these instructions:

==Problems with Torrent?==
In case you have troubles using Torrent because some reason, you can download the official Gorgona Omega image from these links:
* [http://zynthian.org/download/zynthian_gorgona_omega_rbpi3_kitv2-2018-04-03.zip Gorgona Omega, Kit v2]
* [http://zynthian.org/download/zynthian_gorgona_omega_rbpi3_kitv1-2018-04-03.zip Gorgona Omega, Legacy Kit V1]
Please, try first with torrent and don't use these "direct download" links unless you really need it:
* Zynthian server have limits and if everybody is trying to download the SD images directly from there, it will get overloaded and forum, wiki and other Zynthian services will be slower.
* Torrent should download faster than direct download links because you are downloading from several sources at once.
