That's 5.8 times the capacity of a CD.

Get a DVD burner. They are inexpensive now.

You could split up the files on the DVD to individual CDs?

You need to only download the games that are called dvd-rips. They are made to fit on a cd-r.

vb is right. buy a dvd burner. that one on newegg is pretty cheap. i got my 16x burner with dl for $50 last year. and 3 months ago i bought a dvd ram burner for $44. i still have to decide if i should use that or sell it. hmmm

If you dont want to buy a burner the best you could do is to rar the image file(s) into seperate archive with max size whatever u want such as 50mb peices, then split the peices between the cds.

That's still going to take 6 CDs and the game won't be installable from the CDs. The contents would have to be extracted first.
