winrar crc error

[Remyisme]

I downloaded an archive of 10 parts, with a dvd video, made of 3 vob parts, after i finished i tryed to extract the archive, but it comes out with errors: CRC failed in the 3 of the vob files, and for other parts it says unexpected end of archive, I tryed to extract it, with the keep broken files option, but it doesn't help, please tell me, is there a way to fix this?

Try downloading it again ?

i can't it seems that yhe problem, isin the server i downloaded it from, and it doesn't matter how many times i dload it still has the error, i wonder if there's another way to extract the archive.

[jimmalenko]

It sounds to me like the source files are corrupt. Not much you can do about it.

Make sure you have the updated unrar in the programs default folder ... older versions dont work with later packed versions of winrar .

i just reinstalled winrar into a newer verszion but it doesn't help, it's all the same

If there are PAR files download those and use QuickPar to fix the RAR files.

[Remyisme]

what is par files? no there are no such ones there.

[jagabo]

PAR files are Parity files. They allow you to fix errors or missing parts in RAR or split files (any type of file actually).

Here's a highly simplified example of how it works: Say I send you five digits:

1 2 3 1 2

but you only receive four. You have no way of knowing what the missing digit is.

If I had sent you a parity digit, and in this simple case let's just say the parity digit is the sum of the five digits:

1 2 3 1 2 (9)

Then, no matter which digit is missing, you can figure out what it is by subtracting the sum of the digits you did receive from the parity digit:

1 2 _ 1 2 --> 9 - 6 = 3.

1 2 3 _ 2 --> 9 - 8 = 1.

So by sending you a little extra information I've allowed you to fix the data.

QuickPar generates parity files using powerful algorithms that let it determine if there are any errors, where the errors are, and to fix them.

It could also be a fake file. There are a lot of them on the net. Or it's just corrupted and not worth any more effort. Did you look to see if others had successfully downloaded it or are there any comments on the download site?

[Remyisme]

There are comments, there, are people, that downloaded it succsesfuly, the server was mediafire.com, some didn't have a problem, but other did just as me, but, than it was found out, that the files, should be downloaded using firefox than there won't be a problem.

But actually, my problem, is that i coudn't even get to the download links at all, i only got blank pages, but i succeded getting to them using, ninjaproxy.com

Anyway, i download the first rar part again throguh firefox, and i just clicked on it, to open, but it still gave me out the same error... i don't know if i should download all the files again through FF.
