Downloads that are paid for are free for 7 days in case you need to collect them again.  After 7 day ...

Note to pitussa - that has not been my experience.  If I miss the 7 day window Ive had to pay again but perhaps it was during a time when the site itself was having trouble.  I know Ive paid more than once for the same patterns though since my machine crashed while I was in the hospital.

Try downloading them one by one, one at a time, making sure the downloaded file looks like this: name_1.rar (change 1 for each files numbering sequence). Maybe right clicking and "save as", providing the filename yourself.

There is a bug on the forum that rar files are downloaded without the extension "rar" and that maybe confusing your extracting software.

Hope that helps!

7zip can open rar files as well. Its only certain files that seem to be damaged.

I always use Winrar and never had a problem. You can also open zip files with it.
You can try it, you can download and install it for free.
Download it from the winrar site.

I tried with 7zip, winrar, unrar and unrarx. All of them answer "file is not a rar file" when I try to open any of these files. The extension is correct and the file name as well. I downloaded the files 3 times and the same issue. I dont know what else to try. Thanks for your advice, anyway

Thanks, pitussa, I downloaded them once again, one by one, for the 4th time. The file names are correct, but the same issue still persists. "the file cannot be uncompressed as a rar file". They all have the .rar extension. I wonder if I am the only one having this problem with these files.

What is the second link?
It says "Specified search does not exist or has been expired already."

About the pattern (rars) You are right, it stops in the proces of opening/unpack.
Im going to write Turquoise :)

Hi alpargataojara,

We have been busy for a long time (turquoise and I) and finaly I could unpack the rar files.
At first after download the rar files you have to give them an other name/extentions for example
PomPomQuarterly-Issue27Winter2018.part1.rar
PomPomQuarterly-Issue27Winter2018.part2.rar
PomPomQuarterly-Issue27Winter2018.part3.rar
etc. untill part6
Make sure it ends on .rar
Than try to unpack the rar files in a folder. Just double click on part1 and thats it, you will have all.
At first I tried to unpack the files in a folder in my embroidery patterns (images) folder, but that didnt work, so I made a folder in downloads and that did work, got all 104 pages.
Hope it will work for you to.
