Close winrar,move the rar files to one location,right click on any of the rar files,then select extract here,thats the easiest way.

By "in the same place" he means in the same file folder or directory on your harddrive.

if you have first .rar(s) of a movie on Mac

In Mac you can open the first Rar by your software extractor like (StuffIt), it will ask for the location of the second one, at the same time you will see a temporary folder that holds the extracted part, you can take from it , copy to another place, cancel the extractor software, the temp file will be deleted but the copied file will remain, you can view it with the player..
of course only the beginning part that you have downloaded can be viewed.

Please excuse this post if its in the wrong place,education past me by,
I'm new to this stuff so i prolly messed up.
Downloaded a few recently and tried to follow Dubs posts on 'how to' deal with rars etc.
Got rarzilla and hjsplit etc. and things was going great,blazed a trail on some memorable stuff and all was great with the world.
I have a weakness for anything Rene Bond and jumped on a file from miksem back on the 10-29-2008.
Downloaded all 5,parts and tried to unrar with zilla, plus password.......nothing.
Read Dubs posts in the help jobbie,all the first 4,files were equal length,replaced the last one incase it was corrupt.........nothing.Downloaded them all again just incase,still wouldn't have it.
All i get now if i double click on the part1 file is "Next Archive" anyone got a clue ? Thankyou!

It's worth noting that Winrar is able to unrar the first one or ones of a spanned set of .rar files.Say there are 7 .rar files making up a video and you've only downloaded the first one or two you can run Winrar on these to make a working part file.This gives the option to preview a video for example without committing yourself to a big download.If you like what you find then download the other parts.

Hi Woofer,

I downloaded the files and 7zip extracted them without any problem.
Are all files named in the same fashion?
CrnlCr.part1 100.431.872 bytes
CrnlCr.part2 100.431.872 bytes
CrnlCr.part3 100.431.872 bytes
CrnlCr.part4 100.431.872 bytes
CrnlCr.part5 100.049.828 bytes
That's what Winrar expects and if it doesn't find a file it may give the 'next archive' prompt.
Also check the file size of the fifth archive.

Like Dario says make sure you have all 5 parts (correctly named) in same folder Woofer.

He has no problem with the file so should also work for you.

Thanks knobby useful info.......
Thanks to you aswell Dario,my files are exactly the same as yours in name and file length.I'll get 7zip and give it a try,had winrar once and couldn't get my head around it.Mind you i only had one brain cell back then,must have atleast 1.5 by now :]
Love this site !!
