Rar? 2006-08-28 23:37:20 Reply

I downloaded something and EVERYTHING is in .rar format. I read the Info that came with it, and all it said was
1) UnRar.
2) Burn with favorite program.
3) have fun!

First of all, how do I UnRar something?

Secondly, how do I "burn" it with my program?

PLEASE don't tell me to google it...because I did, and it didn't help.

Download WInRAR to extract it: http://www.download...0-2250-10007677.html

And use your CD burning program to burn it. I mean I'm not really sure what they mean as I'm not sure what you're trying to do.

The first link is to WinRAR, the second is explaining what .rar format is from the WinRAR website, the third is is a wikipedia article on .rar file format...

Even though it's been answered. Please post software questions in General, you will return much quicker responses and be more relevant.

All the action we do get from people like him is idiots saying dont tell me to google it AND GOOGLE HAS ALL THE DAMN ANSWERS RIGHT THERE.

Well, Google DIDN'T help. I read what most of those sites were saying (pretty much the same thing) and it didn't help me. I DID google, and tried what most of the sites were saying, before I posted on Newgrounds. I wouldn't say "please don't tell me to google" just because I didn't feel like googleing it myself. I just thought that I would get better help from people on Newgrounds.

If you would've googled on "rar" -which I doubt- the first result would've been WinRAR.
Actually, the first 4. After that is a wiki article on it. Now really.

Ok Ok... I googled Rar... I learned what that was. I downloaded WinRar. Tried to do what ever the site told me to do. IT DIDN'T WORK! When it says "burn to program" I don't know what the hell to do. I extracted the files to the program..."Unknown format" (this is after UnRar). I spent a good 3 hours messing around with that damn RAR file.

I ASKED how to UnRar something (AFTER googleing it)...Just incase there MIGHT have been a differnt way. I also asked how do I "burn with program" because I sure as hell didn't know what that ment, and most of the sites I went to didn't help.

I bet you're talking about a .ISO or a .BIN + .CUE image file which is split into several parts to make it fit on a news-whateveritscalled

Unrar with WinRAR and mount with Deamon Tools
Or
Burn with Nero, using File->Burn Image... (if you got it)
