Torrent users...can you help me out here please

I'm new to using BitLord and DLing torrent files and all, so this may seem like a silly question for you, but I can't seem to figure this shit out.  I just DL a PC game. How the hell do I install it?
I have a rar archive, an ms info document and a bunch of other files. I'm not sure what to do with them. Can someone please give me instructions on how to install this. I've also DL another game and it has given me almost the exact same files. 
PLEASE HELP?

there should be a lot of files ending in .r00, .r01, .r02, .....
open the one that says .r00 and extract the files it contains to a new folder you create. it will use the other files on it's own to put it all back together.

extract the rar file as if it was just a plain zip archive using winrar (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm) and read the readme. ALWAYS read the text files.
This has nothing to do with how you downloaded the file, the torrents, it has to do with the download itself. Torrents dont follow any guidlines for files, it's just a system for downloading. It's similar to a P2P program like Limewire or Kazaa.

can you elaborate on why you can't? an error message? no contents? what?
in case you ahven't already tried, use winrar to extract the files.

1. Get WINRAR. Its the PROGRAM for EXTRACTION like WINZIP. 2. INSTALL WINRAR. 3. DOUBLE CLOCK ANY FILE THAT HAS .rar/.rXX XX= any number. 4. after extracting it to wherever you want to save it. If it is a .cue/.bin file go get DAMEON TOOLS.
5. MOUNT IMAGE INTO DAMEON TOOLS. And run it like a regular cd.
6. PLAY GAME FTW.

8. Winrar is nothing like winzip. Winrar works good. 9. Please don't double clock the file, please double click instead.

10. When it turns out to be an iso file, don't extract that, just burn it
11. It could also be a bin/cue file..burn the cue

Yeah, it's supposed to look like that.
What you have to do is double click on one of those book files, it'll bring up what's inside all those files, highlight and drag whatever is in those files to either that folder or the desktop, doesn't matter.
That's your "cd" for the game. Then you have to install it using daemon tools (www.daemon-tools.cc)

Read up on:

That will help you install it.
Remember, get daemon tools!
P.S. Or you can use this guide too: http://www.wikihow.com/Install-a-Game-With-Bin/cue-Files-Using-Daemon-Tools

Did you finish the download? The icons will still appear and say they're 10,000 or so KB even though they're not even done downloading.

....WinRAR takes up an astonishing 2.11MB once installed. Hopefully you've realized that Windows doesn't come with everything you'll ever need by now. If having a useful/necessary program like WinRAR around is too much of a bother, then you should consider going out and buying the game instead of "filling" your harddrive with 2.11MB so you can go ahead and install that 4000MB+ game.
