Yeah, I had a zillion RAR files for an OC episode, but it played just fine.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
It's a minor inconvenience, but it's still annoying. How much effort can it be for someone setting up the torrent to de-RAR first?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am borrowing someone's iBook (brand new - OS X 10.4.0) and I don't have the adminstrative password. I need that password to set up Ethernet networking, but will I need it to connect to a WiFi network? (My iBook is still in the shop.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've got the trial version of WinRar sitting on the desktop, waiting for the time (*checks download*) 11 hours and 47 minutes from now when I'll be able to test it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Aaaaand it's split into 30 different rar files. *headbonk*
Yeah, what the hell is up with that? It happened to me on the last two Enterprise eps I dl'd. I wound up throwing them in the trash.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
why? Winrar is excellent at cobbling them together and it doesn't take much time.

I didn't know how to do it, and decided it wasn't worth the effort to learn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not quite learning so much as doubleclicking on one of the files and letting it do its expansion.
I'm not sure why I had WinRAR on my box, but it was trivial.

Remember, we're talking about Enterprise.

True. Not like it was Andromeda, or anything.
