How to deal with the .001, .002, etc. and .001.xtm., .002.xtm., etc. files ...

.001, .002, etc. files:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The .001, .002, etc. files that you sometimes encounter are the parts of one bigger file that has been split up in smaller segments with tools like the small freeware program HJSplit:

HJSplit is just a tool to split up (bigger) files of any file format into smaller parts, the second functionality of HJSplit is to join the parts back together again.

To rejoin the parts you first need to download all parts to the same folder on your computer (leave the .001, .002, etc. extensions as they are) and then join them with HJSplit:

Run HJSplit > Join > Input File > browse to the location with the parts > open the .001 file (the only one you will see) > press Start and it gets joined.

After making sure the rejoined file runs properly, you can go ahead and delete the .001, .002, etc. parts you will no longer need them.

When a file that is split into those .001, .002, etc... parts is a .rar or .zip archive you can extract it after joining.

There are 2 versions: a FFSJ-Lite (no install like HJSplit) and a FFSJ-Standard version (both freeware):

FFSJ-Lite vs. FFSJ-Standard

FFSJ-Lite is only one .EXE file, it does not need to be installed, you can directly run FFSJ by double-clicking FFSJ.exe. (Windows All)

FFSJ-Standard = FFSJ-Lite + Shell Context Menu Plug-in. For Windows 2000/XP/Vista

.001.xtm, .002.xtm, etc. files:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another type of split files thats a bit more rare are the .001.xtm, .002.xtm, etc. files, same story as with HJSplit, those are also parts of a (bigger) file that was split up. The freeware splitting/joining program that creates and can join these parts is called Xremsplit. Same as with HJSplit you need to to download all parts to the same folder on your computer to succesfully rejoin them.

After making sure the rejoined file runs properly, you can go ahead and delete the .001.xtm, .002.xtm, etc. parts you will no longer need them.

Note on joining split parts:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To prevent damaged joins make sure that all parts are downloaded, in the same folder/location and are named identical except for the split file extensions (.001, .002, .003, etc.)

When you miss a part or have a wrongly named part you will end up with a incomplete join as these tools join from part 1 up and stop where the "chain" ends.

filename.ext.001
filename.ext.002
filename.ext.003
<--------------------------------------------------- part .004 is missing
filename.ext.005
filename.ext.006
filename.ext.007

When joining the files as listed above then the file joiner will only join parts .001, .002 & .003!!! you will have a incomplete and corrupt join.

filename.ext.001
filename.ext.002
filename.ext.003
filename.ext.004
filename.ext.005
filenume.ext.006 <---------------------------------- not identicaly named part
filename.ext.007

When joining the files as listed above then the file joiner will only join parts .001, .002, .003, .004 & .005!!! you will have a incomplete and corrupt join.

Other thing to keep a eye on are the filesizes: all the parts must be exactly the same filesize only the last part is allowed to be smaller, when one of the first parts is smaller then the others it needs to be redownloaded or you will end up wit a corrupt file after the join.

filename.ext.001 = 99,9 MB (104.857.000 bytes)
filename.ext.002 = 99,9 MB (104.857.000 bytes)
filename.ext.003 = 95,2 MB (99.858.692 bytes) <----- incomplete downloaded part
filename.ext.004 = 99,9 MB (104.857.000 bytes)
filename.ext.005 = 99,9 MB (104.857.000 bytes)
filename.ext.006 = 99,9 MB (104.857.000 bytes)
filename.ext.007 = 16,8 MB (17.630.672 bytes)

In the example above filename.ext.003 is corrupted and needs to be downloaded again, when you still have a corrupt join and all first parts are exactly the same then most likely the last part is corrupt, redownload and try to extract. Should work then otherwise it could be that the file was allready corrupted before it was split.
