lol, I've never needed to download torrents before in my life ok, and the file format is .rar

N00B!!!

.rar is an archiving file format. You need an archiving program to open it. I recommend PeaZip.

PeaZip download free RAR 7Z TAR ZIP extraction

 

[David Spade]

download Winrar, not peazip.

Download winrar then extract the files then lol seriously mate

- open the .torrent file with utorrent/vuse/ares/whatever
- wait for torrent to finish downloading
- once downloaded, go to your newly aquired '.rar' file
- extract with winrar or winace or 7zip

:jaw:How do I winrar?

 

[_trickster_]

if youre not kidding:


install winrar: WinRAR 3.71 - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com that should do it

then, find the file in the main screen
then select the .rar file
then select extract

thats how i remember it, i use 7zip now

alternate way:

install winrar
then go to the .rar file and right click on it
there should be an option to extract to folder
click that

You are mistaken. The file you downloaded is in .rar format. The tiny file you used to download the .rar is the .torrent file: you use the torrent to download the rar.

I think hes having trouble finding the file by the sounds of things. Open you Bittorrent client, find the file you downloaded on it and right click on it --> open file location. Now as you obviously have no idea what .rar is your computer will probably have the file represented by a wierd icon.

Download and install winrar (use the default settings) and right click on the file (your downloaded torrent) and click "exctract here".
