Normally when a file is split, you'll see that the files are named something .rar? Install the software called winrar You must login or register to view this content. (Yours will probably be the x86 version you need unless you have 64bit windows?)

Basically download all the 3 sections of the file, right click part 1 and you'll see something that says "extract here" if you click that it'll basically unrar all the 3 parts into a normal folder for you, which should contain what you need.

If it's not a rar, then I'd need to know what type of files they are to help you further.

Ok, some of them need to be ISO mounted or burned, what is the deal on that?

You mean the files? It's because people make an image and then upload it to the internet. Mount or burn the ISO and you have your files.

You can either use something like Magicdisc You must login or register to view this content. which is a free program that allows you to mount iso's or you can download imgburn You must login or register to view this content. and burn the image (the iso file) onto a disc. Once it's burned onto a disc it will show the actual files you require, not the ISO.

Ok so what is this mount technique?

Basically you mount the image to a virtual drive. So say you have drive C: and Sad Awesome and that's it on your machine MagicDisc would create and E: which is a virtual drive, you then mount the image to it and your E: drive will then look like a normal cd's in the drive, it's just the mounted image. You can then unmount it when you're done.

So do I have to have a CD with a lot of space or will that program do it all?

It depends on how big the program is really. Cd's hold up to 700mb, anything higher then that would require a DVD which holds 4.2 gig. It'll show you when you go to burn it if it's not enough.
