Quick question about 2001 Space Odyssey....
    #8024711 - 02/14/08 09:46 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

So I'm downloading it, and the file size in total is over 6 GB and there's over 70 parts to it.....wtf.

Am I downloading the right one, is there a television series version of this that I might be downloading ever single episode of? Or is it just that long?

I've never seen it so :shrug:

The parts are probably sequentially numbered, and .rar files.

This is normal. Without going into the reasons why it is like this... You need a program called WinRAR to unRAR them, that is combine them into a usable file.

No, video doesnt compress well. Its probably an image from a double layer disc.

It's all good. It is probably just VERY good quality I would download it. Once you extract 1 rar they all will extract to one avi file or whatever.
