Can't unzip a bunch of files:
May 23, 2012 at 1:06 am
Example: rev-dc3e.zip.083

There are over 30 of 'em

I've tried Win rar, Winzip and 7zip. I'm obviously doing something wrong or the files are corrupt.


Any ideas?

Re-download the files. If 7zip isn't opening them, they aren't an archive.

Oh wait. Have you tried WinACE yet? If they are WinACE files nothing else will open them.

Pirates dug ACE files back in the day, not sure if it's still being used though.

The .083 suggests to me that the .zip was divided into 83 parts (or more). Usually when this happens you will only be able to unzip if you start the process with the first zip file (rev-dc3e.zip.001 or rev-dc3e.zip.000 usually).

As tibs as said, using this form of compression requires you to extract using the 001. Use 7zip, right click on the 001 and tell it where to extract and it will open them all in sequence.
