First of all I'm not sure why you mentioned mounting the RAR in the first place. As others have said, I would definitely say that .cdi file works, because I installed it to test that NoCD, before I found out about the patch version. Yes, even though I just registered for the forums today, I am the person who posted the torrent in question.

Forte-chan: strange, the CDI auto-play came up on my computer, but who knows, these image files sometimes act a bit quirky.

If you want to only download one portion of that torrent, if you have a client such as BitComet, BitSpirit, Azureus, or even BitTornado, you can select only certain files to be downloaded from a multi-file torrent. With BitComet, it is under the Files screen for the torrent, highlight the torrent in the main/torrent listing window, select Files in the lower center pane, and then highlight any files you do not wish to download. Right-click and select Priority and then Disabled. Now those files from the torrent will not be downloaded when the torrent is running. Other GUI-only clients like BitSpirit and Azureus are along similar lines. BitTornado you have to select the Advanced screen, and set it to not accept each individual file.

N.B in Bittornado, if you have a file partially downloaded, and you want to disallow a file, the client will ERASE your partial download's progress, and if you later decide to resume that file, it will be from 0.0%, so don't set it to the don't allow option (I can't remember its exact name right now without the client in front of me) unless you're REALLY sure.
