Help with downloading

[roastman1]

I need help with how to download torrent files. I insatlled bit torrent and downloaded a file (Sat Nav Map) which was fine I was able to open and then burn it to cd and it worked ok. However I have since downloded futher files but I am unable to open these. And yes before you ask iI am a complete beginner.

I would be obliged for any help you are able to offer

From what you are saying you can download the files ok ...

So am going to assume your problem is opening the files.

The files you download will be in many different formats ie :

rar
zip
iso

ect ect ect ... you will need the appropriate software on your pc to open the files ... or in the case of video and audio ... to play them. Look at the file extension of each file you have downloaded and use google to find the software to use the file. or post back here and some body will help you find the software needed for each download.

Just had another thought perhaps someone could recommend site that i can download from that don't try and get me to pay for subs. Earlier I used torrent basket and this seemed ok allow to open and burn 1 down load however the other I could not open.

Copy each link and paste into address bar, download each file to the same folder, right click first file and extract with winrar, that should give you a disc image to burn

Do I actually need the image? I have saved the files to a card is that ok? How do I now openand or join the files up to burn to a disc? I did pay a months subs for hotfile spped things up.

You need the image (the image is all the files joined together). As above right click and extract with the program winrar.

Ok have downloded winrar and yhe files saved to the card have a different icon I have right clicked and these appear to have unpacked? What I am unable to work out is how I now burn the lot to a disk.

[kianniamh]

When unpacked you should have a new file probably with the file extension .iso. This can be burnt to a disc with software such as imgburn.

You dont need all the other files once the image is unpacked.
