How to Extract Multi-Part Archive Files

anniekins

This information is for new members who may need some help in extracting multi-rar files on the site.

You can use any tool to do this, for example:

7-Zip (Free)
PeaZip (Free)
HampsterZip (Free)

WinRar (Free trial but you can use indefinitely)

Step 1 Please make sure you download each attachment in the post, and put all the parts in a separate file folder.

Step 2 Open the folder and right click on part 1 and choose the EXTRACT HERE option.

It's possible that you may have to select all the parts before unzipping. It depends on the tool you are using.

Step 3 You should have the complete file now and the individual parts can be deleted from your computer.

Also a reminder -

Attachments can be up to 100mb in size.

Old postings have smaller file sizes because at the time the file limits used to be 5mb and then was increased to 10mb a few years later.
