Open either the .rar, or the .r01 if there is no .rar inside winrar.
drag the file out, it should shoot though the archives for you and pull the file out. -
ok i will give that a go when i get home from work, i did look inside one rar file and saw an avi file which said it was 700mb but i thought how can that be in there when the whole folder it was in was only 700mb yet there where another 50 odd files in the whole folder 20 or so of which were rar files. thanks for the reply i will give it a go this evening.

Each of those rar files is a piece of the movie. Wen you use the rar program it puts it all together for you in the correct order. The file size you saw was probably for the entire movie when put together again.

so do i extract the first rar file in that folder to a new folder that i create? sorry if that is a stupid question, but i am fairly new to bit torrent and this is the first time i have downloaded a folder containing a whole load of rar files as a movie.
by the way tgpo is that the guy from flock of seagulls as your avatar? -

just wanted to say, i got home 10 mins ago and tried what you guys suggested and it worked brilliantly, thanks for your help guys much appreciated.
