I downloaded Ubuntu but I can't find the ISO file
I have downloaded Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS from .
In order to create a bootable DVD it is asking for an ISO image which I haven't found in the download folder.
Where is the .iso file?

According to your screenshot you have actually mounted the .iso file and are browsing its contents.
As @ipse-lute correctly pointed out:
[...]Your uTorrent program is probably set to open the downloaded content (either upon completion or by double-click) with Windows Explorer, because the ISO file-type is associated to Windows Explorer by default.[...]
Go one level up in Windows Explorer and you will see the ISO file.
Navigate to D:\Ubuntu and there will be a file named ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso. This is the ISO file you downloaded.
My guess is that you have Hide extensions for known file types ON, thus you cannot see the .iso extension on the file (default behavior on windows).
In order to view file extensions:
- Start Windows Explorer, you can do this by opening up any folder.
- Click Organize.
- Click Folder and search options.
- Click the View tab.
- Scroll down until you find Hide extensions for known file types,
- Un-check it by clicking the check box.
Note To hide file name extensions, check this line. - Click OK
Also beware that Windows 10 will hide a mounted .iso file while it's mounted. In that case users will want to go to My Computer, eject/unmount the Ubuntu disk, then go back to their Downloads directory and they can find the .iso file again and use Burn Disk Image
If downloading on Windows, download on chrome, not on edge. Edge will read the iso as a Disk, or even a disk drive instead of a disk burn image. The default location in the dir is in Downloads for edge. Try using Chrome instead, so it will ask you which dir to put it in
I had this problem too,copy and paste the download link in downloadmanager apps,then download it .u will see the iso file .
