Well, for Winrar to work, the file has to be a compressed Rar file. or at least a self-extracting compressed file.

You can try Winace, it will open all compressed files that I know of, just download it, and then open the program, the screen will have a explorer setup, so just use it to search for the file, and open the it.

If its a valid compressed file, it will extract the contents of the file into a directory, where you can access them.

Although, if its giving you an error, you could just have a bad file, god knows you can get them from p2p.
