preseed
isolinux

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.

Please try downloading it again: http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=94 Make sure you download a .iso file. And check the md5sum.

It should not offer a .rar file, but perhaps you have installed some addons or programs on your computer that let you see the contents of .iso files? (A .iso file is basically just an archive in a special format.)

The ISO file contains those folders. Perhaps you thought the .iso was a .rar because it opened like a RAR archive (many archiving software can also extract ISO files), or renamed it?
You should just be able to use any DVD burning software such as ImgBurn on Windows or K3b on Linux, to burn the downloaded file to disc. At least you should not try to copy those files and folders inside to a disk - that way it won't work.

nothing important, the computer was thinking that the iso is a rar file but the iso burner burnt the file as an iso
