Default Winrar?

Is Winrar the right app to use to view some of the vids? It hasn't worked for any of the vids I've downloaded. If it is the right one could someone tell me how to use it.

It's exactly the same as winzip: it unrar the compressed files.. you just double click them and he will do the work for you, as easy as that... where is the problem exactly?

Probably (one of) the files isn't complete. Check what size they're supposed to be and if there's a mismatch, download it again.

maybe a download manager might help...that way you could resume your downloads should they cut out....
