    lol, Im guessing its an .iso split up into many different parts. In that case you're gonna have to merge them, then mount them to a virtual drive, then install.

    assuming you have downloaded more than just the .torrent files (aka you have torrent software), there are likely 2 free programs you need:

    1) WinRAR. it can read/make zip, rar, bz, tar, etc files. standard winZIP cannot read .rar, which most torrents include
    2) ElaborateBytes Virtual Clone Drive. this will mount an iso (or other image type) file, so you do not need to burn it to a disk.

    Download isobuster and open the iso files with that (called mounting), then extract them. If I could see the files we were talking about I could help you a lot better.

    Well let me elaborate i didnt really give enough info. Left 4 Dead is a steam game and it must be run through steam. I have something like a steam crack id imagine i put in the steam folder and i also got alot of R32 type files whcih is where i run into problemes. I have about 20 of them and im not sure what to do with them. im also not sure what folder to put the crack in the main one or in a sub folder. I have used .iso files before so those are no porblem for me, this torrent is just diff cuz its a steam game
