Anyone knowledgeable about BitTorrent? |
|
I downloaded a video file, and it shows up as a folder with many smaller files. There are two folders, each containing smaller files with endings such as *.r00, *.r01, and so on. File size of each is 14,649 MB. There are also two .nfo files as well.
And, inside each of the two folders, there is a .RAR file that shows up as a zipped folder.
Just wondering, what do I do with all of this?
How do I open a downloaded torrent file?
Let me know. Thanks.

1. That's not an issue with BitTorrent |
|
it's an issue with the files you downloaded...

2. sonds like a multi disk RAR archive |
|
Haven't seen any of those in a while. Winrar and a number of other tools should be able to extract the data. http://www.rarlab.com/http://lists.gpick.com/pages/Archiving_Tools.htm

3. People who use bittorrent often dont know what to do with the files... |
|
its a common, theme, I get stricken by it too...but thats not bittorrents fault.
in your case, what you have is a .rar file thats been split... You need "winrar", once you get that, open the .rar file (keep the .r** in the same dir as the .rar) and winrar should automatically put the pieces together and extract.

Then is it possible to burn it as a VCD?

you can burn anything to a cd so long as its <700MB. Whether its VCD compatible, I cant tell you.

6. If the torrent you downloaded is what I'm guessing you downloaded |
|
then yes winrar will extract it, and yes it will burn as a VCD. If it's what I'm guessing it is, I've tested it and it works finee.

Which file do I burn? I use Roxio. Doesn't give an option for VCD, so can I burn as a data CD or music CD.

8. Once you unzipped it, did it give .cue and .bin files, or .. . |
|
just various files and folders?
If .cue and .bin, you should be able to burn as image (I'm not extremely familiar with the Roxio software, I use Nero).
If it gave you a bunch of other folders and files, you should be able to burn as a data CD.

9. Roxio is a coaster factory. Get Nero! |
|
Nero is the best CD burning software available. Easy CD Creator was alright when Adaptec made it (up through version 4), but Roxio really killed the program.
