Yea same thing happens to me occasionally

but its in html format and cannot be renamed
If they are small enough to really be html files, simply open them to see why the error occurred
first make sure you are on the account of an administrator on your computer or have applicable rights.
then, make sure in your “folder options” that you aren’t hiding the file extensions even for known file types.
highlight the .html file you want, then hit F2, and remove the .html and replace it with .rar
it will work.

it can be rename after downloading.
Same thing happened to me a few months ago, I opened up winrar and went to the html file and choose extract, It worked fine and extracted the movie
Stop downloading them; problem solved.
If you don't have anything useful to say, don't post at all. Thank you-Search.Use winrar to browse to the folder
hi guys i have noticed a new joke in with a lot of the posts and topics.I am not sure if it is some prank and who should be held responsible but it happens like when u download huge games with over 10 parts...instead of .rar files it appears in html format.Don't get me wrong i am an advanced computer user and i know that if IDM isn't configured properly it may download small html files instead..But with me this is not the issue.The file is the correct file size...it shows as 100mb or 200mb as u should expect but when u open the folder that contains the files eset runs up 100% cpu usgae and as a result the system hangs and u need to cold boot your computer to restart.I do not know if this is some prank or it is a virus but i think this problem needs to be reported and monitored.It is very frustrating sometimes to cue up my downloads in IDM with my rapidshare account and to come back home from work only to see all my files downloaded with the correct file size but its in html format and cannot be renamed.I hope the mods would look into this.What threads? Where the links there ended with .html? The reason most uploads end with .rar.html is because people remote upload files. Thats what happens when you remote upload them it is not a joke its just lazy people that dont want to be bother reraring files. As for ESET hanging up, thats your antivirus having problem. If you didnt know ESET is the worst AV to have. I suggest picking a different one. If files are really rar you can just open them with Winrar (right click Open With) and you dont have to rename them all. Unless its 2 files or 1 then you can just rename it. However, you say they cant be renamed so could mean it was either fake file or corrupted file. You should report threads like that.
just open them with winrar, regardless of if they are .html or .rar
If you have lots of html files just navigate to the folder with command line and use: REN *.html *.rar
Job done, extract as normal.
it happened with me several times in the past but only with IDM..
but now it’s fine when i’m using new version of IDM which hardly gives any error

but as everyone else said, just simply rename the file extenstion to .rar

but its in html format and cannot be renamedDoes not compute Just kidding man, hehe. But seriously. Turn on the file extensions win Windows Explorer and you will see them, and of course you can rename them. I do it several times every week, it’s just some sort of RS bug.
