I have had a cople issues with rar files previously. So, troubleshooting :



Here are the solutions I've found :
- Always using Winrar (available for free on the internet), using other software sometimes won't work - Winrar always works
- When there are several files, always download them in the right order (part 1 then 2 then 3 etc.), gather then in one folder with nothing else inside. Select ALL files, right-clic and select "Extract all". If that doesn't work : rename each file with only numbers, respecting their order ("1" instead of "whatever.part1.pdf") and try again. If it fails again, delete everything and start over in case one file has gotten corrupt during download.

So far I've never met an unsolved issue with those tips.

Certain virus apps give false reports of "dangerous" files. You might try a different program. By iBooks do you mean like epub and mobi? If so, you need an ebook reader, many free ones out there, or you can convert to pdf but it's not suggested as it bloats the files.

Not sure of your exact issue but one important aspect is having ALL the rar file parts.
You have to download ALL the rar files. Often rar files come as filename.part#.rar
You will need tp have ALL the parts in order to open the file.

You have not specified what problems you are experiencing.
Files can be downloaded again with iBooks above.
It is also helpful to provide links to the threads so that someone can help you.
Coins are returned only if there is a verifiable reason to do so.

Please report the threads in question here and someone will take a look

For mac users, Keka (keka .io) is a good free and open source alternative to winrar.

Though if you "buy" it though the Mac App Store, it will say it costs $6.
However, if you go back to the webpage below the "Download on the Mac App Store" there is a download button where you can download for free.
The $6 is more of a donation t
