I've downloaded a rar file wit one part missing
eg
filepart1.rar to filepart6.rar and filepart8.rar to filepart9.rar

filepart7.rar missing and cant find it.

winrar will not extract without the missing file. Is there a way or program that will extract this without the missing file.
 
Depends... What content is it? Is it one big file or several smaller files that have beer rared?
 
Thanks all. It is several small files and includes par files will try http://www.quickpar.org.uk/

hopefully there are enough PAR files to rebuild the missing piece... but sometimes there are not enough. :(

it happens. I have download gigs of stuff only to delete it later because of one missing file. :mad:

sometimes there is another NZB or torrent file inside the folder as well or along with the download. It might help to reload the NZB or torrent from that file and see if the missing piece is in there. Just delete the parts you already have so you don't re-download them.

WinRAR will always extract the complete files in the rar files available and just delete the ones that are non-complete/corrupt - works quite nice when it is a bunch of small files that is contained in the rar. Without the par files, you are out of luck.

You could just copy the extracted folder to another location as soon as WinRAR kicks up the "Locate 'missing' part7.rar file" message, as the corrupted files have not yet been deleted by then.
