How To Open Corrupted RAR Files

How many times this has happened to you that when you get an rar attachment and it don’t open because its broken or corrupted ? or how many times when you have downloaded a movie (say 7 parts or 8 parts) only to realize later that the rar files are broken.


Also wouldn’t it be awesome if you can preview the rar files movies, say if you have 7 parts then instead of downloading all of them, joining them and then watching it, how about you just download the first part and watch it to see the quality of the movie or song or video ?


The problem with winrar is when you open a broken rar file, it gives you a warning that the rar is broken and rar creates the folder with no file in it. This is the default setting of winrar but you can change it to open broken, corrupted or partially downloaded file (specially media files which you can plan on VLC media player)


This is what you have to do -

1. On the rar file, right click and click on Extract Files …
2. It will show you a window where you can select the folder where the file should be saved. Now select the checkbox where it says Open Broken Files (see the below image)



and click on OK. Now as usual if its a partial file or broken file, winrar will again give you warning, just cancel it. Once the operation gets over, you should see the partial file or files which winrar was able to extract. This tricks works really well on movie files which are broken into parts, you can download the first part of the movie, extract it to see the quality of it and to decide whether you should download the full movie or not. It also works well for multiple files .rar achieve as winrar may be able to extract many files.

Unfortunately if there is a single standalone file which is in corrupted .rar file, you will be able to get much from it. You can try to repair the rar file but I have never seen it working. Also note that if you have a middle part of the rar, say 2nd or 3rd part of a three part rar archive you won’t be able to get anything as the meta information of every .rar file is in the first part.
