I'm downloading this game off a torrent site and it's in a .mdf format. What do I do with this ? Also a .toast.bz2 format as well.

it's an image (like .bin and .cue)
use a program that handles iso files like this one. I usually just mount the images on a virtual drive (i use daemon tools )

* I hope when you say "downloading a game" you don't mean "filesharing pirated software"*

Incorrect nokiafan... talking about it in any way is disapproved on, except in a general type of way (ie. discussing the issue of piracy, rather than actual applications). We refuse to help anyone carry out piracy, as you'll discover if you read the forum rules a little more carefully

Quote:
Zero Tolerance on Piracy
NO WAREZ. NO SERIALS. NO CRACKS / CRACKING / ILLEGAL PROGRAMS. Anything that can be used in software piracy or other illegal software activities will result in a ban. Same goes for abusive programs like mailbombers, forum and usenet flooders and email harvesting bots. This also includes unreleased products. Workarounds which comprimise security, bypass password protection, or otherwise go to gain unauthorized access to private data or information is prohibitied. Links provided to locations that offer tutorials or tips for any of these activities are also forbidden.
