.RAR files are just like ZIP files. They are basicly zipped up and you can't view what's inside them. It's not like illegal or anything like that, but you need to download an extraction program, the most commonly used is Winrar, which can be downloaded from the link below.

Trust me, it is the least complicated thing in the world.

All you do is double click on the RAR file, click on Extract, choose where you want the files to end up (Desktop is my place of choice usually), and you're sorted.

A proper torrent will usually have stuff in a RAR or ZIP, it just saves space and time downloading.

Try it out, WinRar is pretty much the easiest way.
