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?

When I double click the file, this pops up-

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....

I dunno, when I work with rars, sometimes one of my decompression programs will say its corrupt and the other will open it and it will work. Its nice to have a bunch of em incase one dosent like a file. I got: Camunzip, Ultimate Zip, Pug Zip, etc....

Yeah, sometimes rar files get mashed in the download process. What ever you do, dont use Stuffit expander. It thinks its WinRar (it offically supports rar files) but in reality it doesnt have a clue what to do with them. It gives all sorts of errors. I just use winrar to extract things. Dont often have problems with WinRar.
