Ok, just downloaded something massive that took forever and i do NOT want to mess this up LOL.

Ok, the file i downloaded (2 cd's) is an archive broken up into pieces.

Now, i want to convert this back into one file, so i can uncompress and burn.

I hilighted all of the files, and saw the option "Convert Archive" Logically i think this what i should do, but i am uncertain, as i have never converted an archive before.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

ok, do you have "filename.rar", "filname.r00", "filename.r01" etc?

if so, doubleclick the .rar one, and extract to somewhere.

you won't be deleting the fils you downloaded, so don't worry about arsing it up.

OK, im extracting the rar one now, (MAN this is going to take awhile lol)

I was thinking about that also, and was fidling around with it while i was waiting for a reply.

Thanks for the answer and quick response, I do appreciate it.

BEST Regards

*EDIT* sure as shit, it worked. Didnt take that long either.

just goes to show how something so simple that you have never done before can seem intimidating.

Thanks again.

no probs.

that's what these places are for.

we might not always agree with each other, but there are those who just argue and those who help out sometimes too.

I like to argue, don't get me wrong, but where i can, i try to help people :)
