    Right click the rar file and it should give you the option to use winrar to extract it. Or you can open winrar then search for the file to extract it. You'll have to excuse my memory, it's been a while since i've used it and i'm at work so i don't have it here in front of me. ;)
    You're not bothering anyone, we're here to help.

    Merry Christmas.

    It may ask you for a password too. So from where you download the torrent there may be a password listed.
