Can I repair corrupted .rar files?
Solution
The beauty of .RAR files is that the uploader can add a recovery record to their archive and not have to worry if the server later corrupts the file. This is a brief tutorial of what to do when you come across corrupt .RARs, unfortunately corrupt .ZIPs are useless.
- Download all parts of the achive, Right Click on part1 and click Open
- In WinRar go to Command then click View Files
- Highlight the entire archive, just the archive files, Go to Tools and click Repair Archive.
- Select .RAR and let it work, it won't take long
