Hi, I recently downloaded BitTorrent. Whenever I try and delete the .dmg file it says that it can't be done because it is still in use. I'm sure the file is not in use.
Is there some kind of "task manager" I can use to close down this file that is apparently still running? Any solutions?
Thank you very much for your time.

Are you sure the disk image mounted after you downloaded bittorrent is no longer mounted? You have to eject it before you can delete the dmg file.
Otherwise, try restarting your computer. That may fix it before we have to get out the 3rd party apps or terminal techniques.

all you have to do is eject the BitTorrernt 3.4.2 and then delete the DMG file.

I had a similar problem on Panther. I downloaded some 3rd party program, but I couldnt delete it because the permissions were not set correctly.
Try Cocktail if you still have problems, but it sounds like the .dmg is still mounted, like Turias said. You have to "eject" it first, although it isn't really something that you can eject physically. Just drag the picture of the mounted .dmg file to the trash and instead of the bin you should see the eject symbol.
My apologies if you have tried all of this already
