Winrar Help (track, quote)

Are the rar files named ___part1.rar, ___part2.rar, ___part3.rar etc or something like that?

If that's the case, just right click the first and choose the third extract option - that will extract everything. People bundle large files in that way so that if there's a hiccup in downloading, you only have to redownload the one faulty rar file rather than the whole thing if it were packacked as one rar file.

Yes, they are named rar 1-7.

3RD OPTION?

1. EXTRACT FILES
2. EXTRACT HERE
3. EXTRACT TO WHATEVER IT SAYS TO EXTRACT TOO < this one Seltzer?

Yep, that one. Any of them should work, but I find the third is the easiest.

Yeah if you extract the first rar it should automatically extract the others.

I've had numerous files where I've had upwards of 100 .rar files and by extracting the first rar it extracted the rest perfectly. It doesnt pop up a window showing the other .rars being extracted.

When I first saw this like you I had no idea how to exact it and figured I'd extract the first .rar and see if it worked. And it worked and has since then
