When trying to extract files from RAR archive, I come across error message stating, “Unexpected end of archive”. What’s wrong? How to extract them?
I forgot multi-part archives were a thing.Or it's a multi-file archive, and you don't have all of the parts.
No, problem not solved.Use 7zip. Problem solved.

I talk from personal experience, where winrar (ironically) failed to extract some .rar archive, but 7zip did without problem.Won't fix the problem if it's a corrupted or incomplete file. >>

It'd just be better to re-download the RAR since you'd be missing parts of the files if it just kinda stopped downloading.There are few reasons for gettingunexpected end of archive RARerror; you usually encounter this error when you start a downloading process and after downloading few GBs (gigabytes) or MBs (megabytes), it stops and displays a message as download complete.
