I've been using this program called bitTORRENT to download numerous things (unreleased cds, new games, etc) and a couple of them have been downloaded as .bin files.

How in the hell do you run a .bin file??? I have NO clue whatsoever.....

I used Alcohol120 for ISOs. You need a .cue file to run it.

Whenever I download an ISO, it comes with two files. A .bin file that contains all of the game's info, and a .cue file that Alcohol120 uses to execute it.

Just last night I downloaded the expansion for Neverwinter Nights. Woo!

Do you have a program to run it?

If not, you should download the trial version of Alcohol 120. I don't know the site, but it should be easy to find.
