    You can extract them where you want (e.g. \Program files\).

    I use the gamespot download program. I do have to pay a small fee each year... but you can't beat the 1.8GB Crysis demo downloading in less than 25 minutes.

    I like torrents for new demo releases, they are usually faster than the other free options to get a demo.
