I have several RAR files containing downloaded music which always come up as "archive damaged or incomplete" when I try to open them with SuperNZB. Is there a way of fixing these files or at least extracting the music in them?

WinRAR is a very efficient and deservedly popular compression or archiving program, somewhat like Zip, and it is frequently used to split very large files into smaller ones (part1.rar, part2.rar, etc). WinRAR is commercial and proprietary, so some alternative compression programs try to handle its encryption system. However, you have a much better chance of success using WinRAR itself. A trial version is available from http://www.rarlab.com/. The program will also save whatever it can extract from damaged files, which are quite common with Usenet downloads. Click the Extract icon, and on the General tab, check the box that says "Keep broken files".
