Why is that ? There are legal contents on tpb, you are assuming he is conducting an illegal activity. –  João Pinto Nov 4 '10 at 14:09
like, about 0.0001%, yes ;) –  JanC Nov 4 '10 at 15:28
And I somehow doubt legal torrents use obfuscated filename extensions, but who am I... –  JanC Nov 4 '10 at 15:29
I just ask how to extract them, I'm not doing anything illegal... I've just downloaded a dvd image that my friend send to me (in a rar file) when I extract it, there were several iso-tpb.r# file. I google it but didn't found anything usefull :| –  Behzadsh Nov 4 '10 at 17:08

Open a terminal and execute:

file filename.iso-tpb

If it's a .iso it will show something like:

ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data

iso-tpb?... Most probably somebody might have renamed the file. Just rename it back to iso.
