A Rar file is basically an archive of data compressed into a smaller file. You need winrar to unzip them.
Winrar is available here:
WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files
Basically how to use them..
Open the .rar file
click Extract To on the menu bar
Select a directory and click ok
First of all, why is this in Games/Arcade?
Second, rar files have nothing to do with torrents.
Third, WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files
Fourth, good luck :jointsmile:
A lot of torrents come in .rar files. Especially cds.

Often times games and such are multiple discs or bin and cue files and instead of sending 5 different files over the internet, you package them into 1 .rar or .zip file. Another cool thing with .rar files is they allow you to package up a large file and then cut it into smaller pieces to be reassembled later. This allows people to host up a large file on those small hosting sites like Rapidshare that only allow 100mb files or smaller.
do you still need help with winrar?Quote:
