Rar file problems, broken files multiple.
 

Hi everyone, thanks in advanced for the help...

So im trying to un rar my rar. files. I use 7-zip, and winrar, Every time i try to unrar them it says broken file, cannot open file. This happens to nearly most of my rar files in the last few weeks, idk what else to do, thanks for the help

It depends on what distribution you are using. I had this problem in debian etch (4.0), because by default it uses the free version of unrar. So in my case it was solved by uninstalling the open-source version and installing the unrar-nonfree package

So your saying go and get a torrent with a crack of a paid version of unrar, or something?

nope. If you need to unrar archives under Linux, try to use "unrar-nonfree" package. It is free (as in beer). And it's made by rarlabs. Also there is unrar made by GNU. That is the free(as in freedom) version. And Debian usually uses the free(as in freedom) version, even though it has some bugs. Maybe your distribution also uses the non-free version, so I suggest that you should simply remove the GNU version of unrar and install the other one. Just look for unrar and unrar-nonfree packages in your repos.
