I need some help with a torrent file (winrar) that I'm trying to transfer on to a CD.

I downloaded the program that allows me to open torrents.

So it's all downloaded on to my computer now, and I extracted everything.

It says I need to burn it on to a CD in order to play, but I can't figure out how to put them on the CD.

I mean, I'm burning it on there, and it's showing up as a bunch of files on the CD, but nothing that the computer recognizes as a program. Now what?

Suggestions?

Possibly, one of the files you extracted was an image file. That means you need to burn it as an ISO image file. Most buring software will do this.

What you are maybe doing wrong is burning the Image file as a data file and not an Image file.

It was an image. It saved as an image, and it's on the CD as an image. That's not the problem

You may need some software that will mount the image in a virtual drive. You can download Power ISO or Alcohol 120. After you've installed the program, open it and click on File-->Mount Image and open the image you want to mount. There's no need to burn a CD, since the program recognizes the file as a "virtual" CD.

I'm assuming the file you've downloaded is some software??

If not, then please ignore my advice!

Extract the .iso (or another image format, which is probably what it is) to your hard drive and install it from there. If you need to free up space, then burn the extracted files to a CD or DVD.

Of course, its easier to burn the image to a cd/dvd, then install.

To extract ISO or image files, you will need an image file handling tool. I use UltraISO.
