unrar .img-files?


i have quite a few rars with movies. they all say the .imgfile is 2 GB, but the actual size is about 4 GB. when i come to unraring 2.1 GB it stops right there, giving no error message or anything. Im using latest ubuntu 32b if that is to any help. what is wrong here? :S

Try to unrar from the command-line with the command:

$ unrar x filename.rar

If it hangs somewhere along the line you atleast get an error.....
