when you downoad torrents they come as a zip file (this is not the actual file, just a file for a filesharing program to run from)...unzip them to the location of your choice...then you have to get a downloader...azeurious or something....or bittorrent.... . then you have to tell the downloader to open the .torrent file. i believe that that will start the download of the actual file...

In order to compile a .zip or .rar movie/tv show all one needs to do is double click on one of the files and it becomes self extracting. (in other words open the ziped file). . To play one, you would need a media player such as vlc (no extra codex necessary) www.videolan.org/. . after you extract the files you might see either a . 1) .avi file in which case just double click on it and play. or . 2) two files, a .bin and a .cue - With those files you can burn to disk using nero or some other software, or you can create a virtual drive with alcohol 120% . . Personally, I would download vlc player, you can watch .bin's with out the hassle of burning or creating virtual drives, it works just like any of your media players except it needs no extra codex to work Ü

BIN & CUE files are like ISO formats . You need a program to burn these files. . Something like Ashampoo or Nero maybe.

Or you can download Daemon Tools and mount the image of the file, so you don't have to burn them to a disk. . . If there is a bunch of zip files or probably, rar. Highlight them all and extract the rar archieves to the same folder.
