I have downloaded a torrent... after the download I open it up to find 29 .rar Each one has a .bin and .cue... They are all the same!?
Every guide and tutorial and thread only talks about one .bin... What do I do with the other 28 of them...
-Do I extract each .rar? Where... anywhere?
-How do I burn more then one on a disc?

I copied one of them to a disc and it showed the first part of the game and wouldnt pass the loading screen...

Ive been looking everywhere... nothing talks about more than one .bin

I think that you need to open/run the first .rar file so it can make one big file or something. Do your files have a sequence number on them? like part1, part2 and such ?

yes. There from 01 - 14... but, they are the exact same file. Right now I am extracting them all to a folder, it always asks to overwrite so I do... Im wicked confused.

hello

you actually need them all,its just that when it comes to unpacking the rar files you just do it once

when the uploader uploads a file,its much safer/easier/it reduces the chances of errors occuring if the image is split amongst many rar files,also it easier to download and share whilst using torrents

look at it like this,if the uploader just rar'd the whole image instead of splitting it down,the effects on the torrent would go against it,seeders/leechers would struggle to get good speeds,
what happens if you get an error?
when you have a bunch of rar files,its easier to pin point the problem using the sfv file,then you can simply re-download the numbered rar you need,instead of downloading the whole file again

hope this helps you a bit

cheers!!

you have to make a new file each time you extract or you'll be overwriting the previous one you just extracted
