Hai Hai

I`ve been downloading for quite a while of the threads and most of the files i'm getting are .Rar. I have a good extractor but most of the extraction or failing, prompting the message the the file is refusing to unpack.

does anybody wanna help clear up this misconception or mess that is driving me crazy ???

I would like to see a typed description or a picture please.

Just on a hunch though, the .rar files were packed wrong or the internet screwed up the file strings.

Yup, I'm agree with what Will said.
Chances are that somewhere during the transfer/DLing, it got interrupted.

BTW, what zip software are you using? I use 7zip.

That pretty much never happens - and is the reason for the verify function anyway.

This happens more often, usually when the user has bad internet and the download fails. In that case using a tool like JDownloader (or IDM, if you have premium accounts) helps greatly.

Hey! I'll second with Alexsdu. I use 7zip and don't have any problems, (0000000000.01% of chance for screw up) not to brag about it or anything. But 7zip pretty much kicks all the other extractors butts.

Happy .rar extracting. If it doesn't work, shoot it before you curse at it, that way it can't hear ya'.

maybe u can try this latest winRAR : WinRAR 4.00

I agree with corocoro, unfinished downloads can lead to such problems, i had my share of these problems until i started using softwares like jdownlaoder and fdm to download. And don't forget to use the latest extraction tools (wirar 4.00 and 7zip 9.20)
