Answer #1
what format are they in? If Rar then you need to extract it first
Answer #2
yeah i think its Rar.. im a noob at these things how do u do it?
Answer #3
you gotta use winrar or 7-zip
get one of em then right click
it and use one of the extract options
do note that if theres multiple rar files
then extracting just 1 of em is good
enough (winrar/7-zip will extract the data
from all of the rars automatically from the 1st part)
Answer #4
anywhere i can dl winrar for free?
Answer #5

Answer #6

Answer #7

windows have a built-in zip archiver so youll
be able to open it easily
Answer #8
when you download it, check that the extension is .zip not .rar. Oh the irony in that…. or get 7zip from their site which is free.

options (right click when your on the download folder
with windows explorer i mean)

Answer #22
dude its called a folder/directory not map
or did i misunderstood somethin? anyhows,as saif first you gotta download all files
then you need to extract from ONLY 1 of em
and NOT each in seperate , when youll extract from one of em
the data from the others will be too automatically extracted/combined
Answer #23
you need to download ALL parts from the episode you want to watch!
Answer #24
first man : Download ALL the parts and put them in the same place~ Folders are not allowed ~
second : Use your Winrar to extract them ( press right mouse button at one part any choose extract here )
Then you can enjoy the movie.
