I installed rar from the rpm for Fedora. That appears to be correct but here is what I see after I run the unrar:
------------------------------------------
#rar x Lotr-Rotk-1.part01.rar

It goes on and on for each part file that I have.

It created the folder and the cue file but it fails on the bin file.

What am I doing wrong? Please anyone!

your rar files are probably corrupt. this is common when downloading stuff off the internet that is not supposed to be there in the first place.

You can test rar by creating a rar archive and extracting it, I'm sure it's fine though, and the problem is with your files.

I dont think they are corrupt. I used Par to check them.
