So Confused!!!

[L337_Assasain]

Alot of people are going to be burning the hl2 files to DVD, but my question is how, I just read in a thread that the files all together are 5.05 gigs, but when i add them up i only get 2.48, am i missing something?
Not only that, but the files named Base Source i can't even open, is that normal, because i know alot of people have viewed them. This is really making me wonder if i prelaoded correctly.
Right now i have files Base source models, base source sounds, base source materials, and base source, and all together they come out ti 2.48 gigs, and when i click on them it asks me what program i would like to open them with...i'm REALLY confused... ;( ;(

I only have 2.48 too, but it did say i have a full locked copy of the game on my comp so i guess it must have worked.

hmm, then why did Chris_D say that all together it was 5.05??
When you prelaod them, are they compressed? and can you view them?
