Downloading rapidshare files in two or more parts.

I 've a problem downloading RAR rapidshare files of more than 99,9 MB, and sent in two or more parts. For instance the vids of Lucia Tovar's thread are impossible to download.
If I try to do it, I receive a window from RAR that I do not have enough volume. I downloaded a RAR programm but didn't buy a licence.
Is that the reason???
Just a little remark : files of more than 100MB on Depositfiles are very easily downloadable by my computer. Can someone give me some advice?

Try IZArc, a free program

7zip is the best archiver imo.

i'm a little unclear as to the cause of your problem though. you did download both parts of the archive right?

There are actually several formats that are used to make up multi-part archives.

One version uses file extensions .r00, .r01, and so on; this indicates RAR archives, and there will also be a .rar file. This is the "master" file, which includes file header information. If you download all parts and tell your de-archiving program (such as WinRAR or WinAce) to extract from this file, it will automatically traverse all the files. There's also the .part01.rar, .part02.rar, and so on format; point at the .part01.rar file to begin de-archiving.

Another version uses .z01, .z02, and so on; this indicates ZIP archives, and there will also be a .zip file. Again, this is the "master" file, and you should direct your de-archiving program to start there; it will traverse the other files.

Some files are just split into chunks without any archive headers. Extensions of the sort .001, .002, and so on are (usually) created by HJSplit, and can be rejoined by the same program; point it at the .001 extension and it will traverse all the other files. (Alternatively you can rejoin them using binary append operations, such as copy /b in Windows.)

these methods curmudgeon has mentioned have been obseleted for the most part. most of the major archivers now only use one extension. i.e. rar, 7z, etc. no more numbers. although most of the archivers are backwards compatible and can extract the older type of archives.

I'm not sure why anyone uses HJSplit anymore. Especially if the end result is a .rar file. If a file is large and someone uses RS with WinRAR it can split the file into however many parts are required and RU has upped its limit to 200MB. MU is at 1024MB and has always been reliable for me. These are the only two I've used and I'm sure there are other good ones.

As I see it WinRAR is only useful to split video files into smaller chunks that upload services will support. Binary files do not compress to any great degree unlike text files so the only reason to use it is to meet the limits of hosting services.

Ah, for the old days when we had enough local storage to post video to the board. I still remember when I helped a poster through posting a 500+ MB Milena video in her thread. Around 100 5MB posts but he got it done. A major posting effort!

7zip supports creating volume archives as well.
