Answer 1

Just download it and every thing will be fine. But you will need an Archiving Program like WinRAR to extract them. You should see something like RAR part1, part2 etc. And once extracted you will see what you are looking for inside those RAR files.

Answer 2

RAR Files are nothing but compressed files. Just like .ZIP but
just more efficient.

Answer 3

Please explain your problem more. Usually when you download a file, you go to your downloads file (or where ever you chose to download it in) and there it should be. You just click on the installation. If it doesn't work, it might be the installation that wasn't good. When I download torrents for programs, I usually check the comments to see if people had complaints about it, or if they thought it was really easy to install, etc. It gives you an idea of what to expect. Good Luck!

Answer 4

You open the RAR with 7-Zip. It's like ZIP files.
