Answer 1

in the folder that you have these files, goto view and select details, this will put them in the correct order, then double click - this will open a window asking where you want to extract them choose your folder and extract, once you have the full 4.5gb, open nero (if you have it) go to new, this opens a window...choose cancel then on the menu and select the recorder menu, then select burn image, this will burn it to your dvd and your done

Answer 2

Ignore the msinfo and sfv files, sfv can be used to check the downoad for errors, you can open the msinfo file in notepad to see what it says.

What you have is a multipart archive you need to extract the file that ends .rar with an archiving tool (its a similar thing to .zip)

use http://www.extractnow.com http://www.7-zip.org or http://www.izarc.org All of these are free.

This will extract all the files at once.

Answer 3

If all the rar files are in one folder, unpacking one in WinRAR should unpack and join all of them. I use this method all the time to share large media files. Make sure you have all the files in a dedicated folder. Right click on the first file in the sequence and select 'unzip here' from the menu, the files should then unpack as vob files, ready to be burned to disk.
