Extraction woes...
 

So I have what appears to be a RAR archive. There are several of them.

Archive 1 looks like this:

1.001
...
1.051
1.sfv

2 looks like this:

2.001
...
2.051
2.sfv


Both 1 and 2 work fine as RAR archives, extracted with either WinRAR or PicoZip.


Archive 3 looks like this:

3.001
...
3.049
3.sfv


Say what? I tried just extracting with WinRAR like before, but when I do so, it asks for a full path to 3.050. Then one to 3.051. Then 3.052. It doesn't seem to end.


Archive 4 looks like this:

4.001
...
4.023
4.sfv

This one extracts fine.


So what's the deal? Is archive 3 corrupted? Or is there something I don't know about sfv files? As I understood, they were just checksums to make sure everything got downloaded correctly... but I've seen no error message regarding that. Help me out here.

do you have an sfv checking program?

if not, grab this one, it rocks.. http://www.big-o-software.com/products/hksfv/

sounds like you're missing some pieces of the archive. but hksfv will verify that for you.

it looks like you have a bad archive dude go redownload or if you checksummed after downloading and it was fine...find another source....

Bloody hell. That's what I thought.

Archive 3 is missing 2 parts (imagine that...). Thanks, guys.

:thumbsup: I use hk as well. great prog, especially how it handles multi sfv's from different dirs. :love:
