    I grabbed a file from an .nzb and ended up with a list of files ending in .001, .002 etc. I'm familiar enough with these files to know how to open them. Here's where my problem comes into play, using quickpar I checked the files and they were repaired with some .par2 files. In my experience if quickpar finds the files ok or repairs them to an ok state you can extract the files using winrar or another extraction software. This time it repaired everything to an ok state and I get the error "No Archives Found" from winrar. It also fails with 7zip. I renamed the files to test them so they were recognized by winrar (extensions became .r01, .r02) it failed at this point as well. the files have no .sfv though that usually tests the same as .par from what I've seen. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    You're using the wrong program. The files are not .rared.

    Use HJSplit.
