is it meant to take a long time to extract files and are you meant to extract them to themselves?

Shouldn't take more than a few minutes if its the grpahic packs you were talking about earlier.
Open up the the zip file in winrar. Click 'Extract All' in the top corner. Select where you want them to go. And click ok.

Usually should done be more or less instantly.
