Problem Extracting RAR file

[jealousy91]

I'm having an issue extracting a rar file using WinRAR.

I have a 57 multi-part rar archive that whenever I try to extract the file w/ WinRAR, I get this error message

part44.rar: Checksum error
part44.rar: Unexpected end of archive error
part44.rar: Packed data checksum error

I already know the file in question is corrupted but I wanted to know what I could do to fix it.

I tried using the Tools ==>Repair archive method but it didn't work.

unfortunately, the Tools-> Repair works better if you have a parity/recovery section (when generating the RAR file)

http://www.newsgroupreviews.com/par-files.html

without it.... it's difficult to recover the corrupted file. checksums are used to notify you when something is corrupted, but doesn't really help you to recover data

I did download this from newsgroup from an NZB file and it was my first time doing it.

i always try to not download multipart rar files just because of this.

try to re download part 44.

Already tried it, didn't work.

You cannot fix it as it is now, but there is a very high chance the poster also posted par files at the same time. grab any one of those, and search .par files if you need help using them.

Apparently, the poster didn't include the PAR files with it so I had to find another NZB file that included and it worked without a problem.
