how do i uncompress incomplete rar files?

August 6th, 2016

i have the first part of a five part rar file how do i uncompress it?
Answer #1
u don’t unless u have the remaining files. When extracting a multipart file, when the extraction reaches the max file size of the 1st file it will 1) (if you have the files) automatically continue extraction by moving on to the 2nd part or 2) (if you don’t have the other files) prompt you for the next file.
ya can’t extract a multipart file without all parts
Answer #2
When you click the Rar file to open where it ask where to extract check keep broken files and the extract.
Answer #3
yeh as ch3 said ya cant open something unless youve the rest of it it wont play or install otherwise

Yes, like that…If it is part of a video, or music, it may do something or it may be completely useless..
VLC would be the most likely player to succeed.
You really need to get all the parts , though!
Answer #5
You do not need all parts.
Click on keep broken files.
Do not tell him it does not work, its His business what he wants to do, and there are many situations where you just want first part.

How do ya expect it to work if it needs all 5 parts for it too work

Some players let you preview part rar(don’t get me wrong I agree with you Tv), if meant being able to preview a sample then Torrent is the way to go(no I don’t want to open that can of worms, but done this game for years and if precautions are taken its not an issue), as with torrent you can just download the sample if you wish.

As I said I agree I agree, but sometimes its best just to agree with the kids and let them learn, but give them the info along the way so they don’t bite you in the ass

Have you tried the C64 Forever emulator? it does the full C64 load screen for its entirety, bloody glad Spectaculator doesn’t do that (Call me sad but I have an emulator for all the old stuff, even got some for the wife when I can’t be bothered )
Answer #13
never tryed any of them bud gave up on them when got me hands on the nes when it came out 1st
Answer #14
its a collection of books i downloaded the first part but dont want the rest. when i try to open it lets me see the books with in winrar but when i try to extract it by keeping broken files it just gives me an empty folder. the rar file is 400 mb so there must be something in there…?
Answer #15
You need to download all parts, then you can delete what you don’t want after extraction.

Have ya the link handy there and can see for ourselfs and then can probably solve it for ya then mate where the topic is that your on about
Answer #17
Was there a password on the file?
Answer #18
When you click the Rar file to open where it ask where to extract check keep broken files and the extract.
Yes, like that...If it is part of a video, or music, it may do something or it may be completely useless..
VLC would be the most likely player to succeed.
You really need to get all the parts , though!

This usually works, anyone who has been around the scene for years knows that when fileshosts had small limits you could download the first part of a film in a spanned rar and use this method to watch a few minutes to check the quality (eg the first 100mb of 7 parts 700 MB encode).
However, (to OP) this hasn’t seemed to work for you. Can you do a Google search using the filename to see if you can find the rest ? Have you tried using 7zip to extract (right click extract here)? Sometimes you can find the files in a temp folder, however you may not get that many books from it.

FFS, re-entered as edit: Its a collection of books he’s downloading not a video file(not going Roberto snappy here :lol), so unfortunately it is a case of having to download all parts (unless you do torrent, then you can choose)
Answer #20
^^^I know it’s a collection of books – read my post above yours (which you have even quoted), and the fact he may find them in a temporary folder
FFS to you too, lol
FYI – many, many, many years ago, when I was involved in sharing porn files via Yahoo Groups (upload limit was 753MB plus the message envelope) I used to get so excited about some spanned image set posts that I would extract a few images from the first rar, it is possible, however as I stated he may not get many books. FFS
*EDIT-

This would be very handy to prove a point.
Answer #21
FFS to you too, 753Mb was a Currys sale in the old days I bet you never wanked to Samantha Fox Strip Poker on the Spectrum either

Every time I saw Sam Fox I immediately thought of her butch girlfriend/manager which put me off, so that answer would be no
I still have a Spectrum in the shed, and a TRS 80
I hope the OP can help us to help him

Still got a C64 and tape recoreder (and Amiga and…), have debated modding my PC case to black with the Speccy multi-coloured stripe though, as for the Op I don’t think he can help us
