VaKo Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Google for the PAR files, sounds like your missing a file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Its either an incomplete archive, corrupted or someone made a fake rar in hopes of you downlaoding it. Try redownloading it. Did the site offer an MD5 hash so you could verify the exact contents of the file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiyed14 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 those are usually just parts of the rar file. The file that was rar-ed and that you want should be in the archive. All you should need to do is extract it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you should need to do is extract it. Like you said, those are parts of the file. As in, there are multiple rar files, r00, r01, r02, etc, that make up the final archive. If anyone of them is missing, the whole archive extraction fails. You often see this with warez and torrents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
