The common name for this file is a "torrent file". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_Torrent for example. So it should say "torrent file", not "meta file". This is a UI text problem.

Please reconsider your rejection of this. -- When I launch, bittorrent asks for a meta file https://launchpad.net/bugs/70423 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
