First off - you`re about to run software from an untrusted source on your machine. It could be the file you want, but it could also have trojans, viruses or keyloggers. Are you sure you want to do this? Is it worth saving the £x to buy the thing? Especially when there`s a lot of stuff out there to do similar things for not a lot of cash.

OK warning out of the way :D

You`ve not said what file extension is, but it`s probably .rar or a single .rar file with lots of files .r01, .r02 etc. That a compressed archive like a .zip file split into multiple parts

You need WinRar to combine the files.
