I believe those are compressed files that can be uncompressed by using WinRAR. Download it, set it up, higlight all your files to be uncompressed, then choose extract here. Good luck.

Seems to me if the files are number from 0 to whatever then take the first zip file in the sequence and unzip it and winrar should extract the avi.

this is a pretty common practice in BT releases. Just open up the first zip or rar in the folder and extract the file inside and winrar/winzip will take care of the rest

Get Winrar, extract them. If they are CUE files, you gotta burn em using Nero.
If they are AVI, then you can watch away.

Just wanna chip in and say you DO NOT have to burn .bin/.cue files if you don't want to.
You can get CD/DVD drive emulation software, like Daemon Tools, and you can put the "CD" in a virtual CD-ROM device and watch it on your computer.
