Jimmy1983 · 16 Nov 2011 at 23:33

Just tried to extract a download and iam getting errors each time,

part19.rar: Unexpected end of archive
part19.rar: CRC failed in show.mkv. The file is corrupt
part19.rar: Unexpected end of archive
part20.rar: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged

it is possible to repair it somehow?

MMmmmmmmmm nope

looks like parts 19 and 20 of that .... errrrrrr ........ big download are corrupted or damaged during download.

You could try downloading just the corrupted parts only, depending on your client , inserting and replacing them and then attempt to extract the file again.

Best I can think of at the moment

Are there no par files available? Usually large rar archives are posted with par files, which can repair rar files.

You need the PARs. That or obtain whatever you're downloading legally.

Jimmy1983 · 17 Nov 2011 at 17:39

The download didnt contain any PAR files

Your only hope then is to try and redownload the 2 corrupt files.
